• LEARN—Build a solid foundation with the text

Students begin by learning the parts of words—roots, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes. Then, they use their understanding of word parts to learn medical terminology. Mnemonic devices and engaging, interactive exercises make word-building fun and easy, ensuring students retain the information they need for success.

• PRACTICE—Study smarter, not harder

Based on proven language methodology, Medical Language Lab (MLL) guides students step by step from basic through advanced levels of proficiency to become confident medical language speakers. Students review what they’ve learned from the text and in class through activities and quizzes.

• ASSESS—Build mastery. Attain fluency.

Students and their instructors can monitor their progress through every MLL lesson and assignment to identify the areas where they’re struggling. A Review section provides additional activities for remediation. The Student Lesson Gradebook identifies which lessons have been completed (or not completed) and the grade earned, while the Student Activity Gradebook details how each student performed on specific assignments and how long they took to complete each.
