What PAC 115 is really about
Medical terms look intimidating until they are broken into parts. PAC 115 teaches the roots, prefixes and suffixes that combine to form most medical words, so students can decode unfamiliar terms instead of memorizing lists.
The course is designed for people who work around health care rather than in clinical roles, such as administrators, researchers and addiction professionals. Examples connect terms to real documents and careers, which makes the vocabulary easier to remember and use.
What PAC 115’s assessments ask for
Expect word-building exercises, term analyses by body system, a glossary for a specific health career, a short paper interpreting a medical document in plain language and exercises on abbreviations and their safe use.
Where students lose points in PAC 115
Students lose marks by memorizing definitions without understanding word parts, by misspelling terms, by using abbreviations that cause errors and by translating documents inaccurately.
