Enroll in Applied Medical Terminology with Dolphin STEM Academy

Course Overview

This one-semester course is intended to help you familiarize yourself with the medical
terminology related to the human body systems. This course has 14 lessons organized into
three units, plus three Unit Activities. Each lesson contains one or more Lesson Activities.

This course will cover the structure of the human body systems and their functions. It will also
include medical terminology related to diseases, disorders, medical procedures, and treatment

You will submit the Unit Activity documents to your teacher, and you will grade your work in the
Lesson Activities by comparing them with given sample responses. The Unit Activities

this course. There are other assessment components, namely the mastery test questions that

simple multiple-choice questions and technology enhanced (TE) questions.
