For centuries medical terms were written only in latin. The words we use today
carry this legacy. As with any language, correct pronunciation is crucial to
being understood. Pronunciation is to verbal communication what handwriting
is to documentation.

Proper pronunciation of medical terminology enhances your credibility and
reduces the probability of being misunderstood. This guide is a simple way
to hear the correct pronunciation of a medical term before you need to use
it.

Thanks is given to Hugh Cameron for his technical assistance and continuous support. I could not have done it
without him. Nancy Granberry (granberr@etsu.edu)
