Prefixes and suffixes
Learn the word parts that modify location, direction, number, timing and intensity, and the endings that identify diseases, symptoms, diagnostic procedures and treatments.
Medical terminology, understood
The reason cardiology feels harder than it is.
You're not slow. You're translating. Every lecture that's 30% words you half-know costs you the 70% you actually needed to hear, and you never notice it happening, because you recognize the terms just enough to nod. Learn how the words are built and you stop translating. You just listen.
How far do you want to take it?
Every option teaches the same system: word parts first, memorization never. The difference is how many ways you get to practise it.
Medical Terminology Workbook
$49.99 CADshipping calculated at checkout
The workbook. Terminology is learned by building words, not reading about them, so this is designed to be written in.
Inside
- Every prefix, root and suffix you'll meet in EMS, organized so related parts learn together
- Word building exercises that make you construct terms rather than recognize them
- Body system terminology, taught system by system alongside the anatomy
- Medical abbreviations you'll see on charts and handover sheets from day one
- Review activities at the end of each section to catch what didn't stick
- Room to write, annotate and work through it properly
Ships across Canada and the U.S. Most students add the Mastery Kit for $30 more, which is where the audio, flashcards and pronunciation tools live.

Medical Terminology Mastery Kit
$79.99 CAD$30 more than the workbook alone
The workbook plus the tools that make decoding automatic. Reading a term and producing one under pressure are different skills, and this trains both.
Everything in the workbook, plus
- Searchable eBook: look up any term, root or abbreviation in seconds, from anywhere
- The full audio course: study on the commute, at the gym, on the drive to clinical
- Digital flashcards: active recall in ten minutes a day, which is what turns recognition into fluency
- Interactive review games: the format your study group will actually run
- Pronunciation support: hear every term said correctly, so you'll say it out loud in front of your preceptor instead of talking around it
For $30, you go from one way in to five. This is the one we'd pick.
Full Program Access
$249.99 CAD
Terminology is the course that makes every other course easier. This is the Mastery Kit plus a full year inside Master Your Medics, so the moment terminology stops slowing you down, the rest of your program is already waiting.
Everything in the Mastery Kit, plus
- Hundreds of video lessons across anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, medical and trauma
- The complete pharmacology video course and medication math training
- Practice questions with rationales that show you where your understanding is thin before the exam does
- Structured certification and licensing exam prep
- New content added throughout your year of access
One year of full access. For students who'd rather solve the whole program than one subject.
Not sure which one?
The question isn't how you like to study. It's where you are right now.
The Workbook
I'm just starting and I want to stay ahead of it.
You've got time, terminology hasn't bitten you yet, and you want to work through it properly before it starts costing you in other courses. The workbook alone will do that, as long as you actually write in it.
The Mastery Kit (most students land here)
I'm already in it and lectures are moving faster than I am.
You don't have time for one more thing to sit down and do. You need terminology to fit into the hours you already have: the drive, the gym, the ten minutes before class. And you need repetition, not just exposure. That's what the audio and flashcards are for.
Full Program Access
It's not just terminology. I'm behind in a few places.
If terminology is one of several things worrying you, fixing it alone won't change much. Anatomy, pharmacology, assessment and exam prep are all in the platform, and one year covers your whole program instead of one course.
Work through it for 30 days. Keep the workbook either way.
Here's the test: take a term you've never been able to hold onto. Work through the section it belongs to. If you can't break it into its parts and reason out what it means without looking it up, you didn't get what we sold you, and you shouldn't pay for it.
Email us within 30 days of your purchase and we'll refund you in full. No form to fill out, no explanation required, and don't ship the workbook back. Keep it.
We can offer this because we know what happens once students stop memorizing and start decoding. Very few people ask.

Medical Terminology Should Make Sense
Students are often expected to memorize hundreds of unfamiliar terms without first understanding how those words are built. This workbook teaches you to recognize the parts inside a medical word so you can interpret terminology you have never seen before.
Break words apart
Learn how to identify prefixes, roots and suffixes inside complex medical terms.
Understand new terms
Use word building principles to interpret terminology you have never encountered before.
Communicate confidently
Improve your understanding of patient reports, documentation, textbooks, lectures and clinical conversations.
Build a stronger foundation
Develop terminology skills that support anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology and patient assessment.
Learn the Language of Medicine
Rather than treating every term as an isolated definition to memorize, the workbook teaches you to recognize recurring word parts and use them to interpret unfamiliar terminology.
Roots, combining forms and word building
Recognize the core meaning connected to organs, body systems, conditions and procedures, then break down complex terms and build new words using familiar components.
Abbreviations and body system terminology
Become more comfortable with common EMS and healthcare abbreviations, and apply terminology within cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, endocrine and other body systems.
Listen: the audio course
Hear terminology explained and pronounced so unfamiliar words become familiar while you drive, walk or train.
Review: digital flashcards
Strengthen recall of prefixes, roots, suffixes and abbreviations in a few focused minutes a day.
Practise: interactive games
Reinforce difficult terms through active recall with interactive terminology review games.
Look Inside the Workbook
Swipe through real pages and see how each term is built, broken down and practised.
