Thank you so much the University of Pittsburgh for creating this course for students like us.
Although this course was more aimed at nursing and medical students, and not so much at linguists, it's still a valuable resource for both.
Thank you so much!!!

very well organized
The course was very well organized, with a small hiccup where certain practice quiz content had not been covered yet but was covered in the following chapter.
This course is very well organized in six weeks, the information learnt over these weeks was completely useful and rewarding for the student to acquire.

health care
Incredibly useful for an international health care student who wants to learn how to successfully communicate in a clinical setting in the US This course was really helpful.
very good, allowed me to learn a lot and train a new language Really beneficial to Health Care Providers, highly recommended.
As a non-health care professional already familiar with some medical terminology, I learnt many new terms and clinical scenarios, while reinforcing and expanding on what I already knew.
I am now more familiar and knowledgeable enough with the clinical terms, mobile equipment, laboratory tests, diseases, understanding the abbreviations and route of administration and with the aid of Clinical Terminology Dictionary for BeginningInternational and U.S. Health Care Providers and the Nursing Simulation Scenario Library, that made me easy to comprehend with the course.
I have had no real training in the health care field, but I work at a hospital and I want to get ahead in the administrative side of health care.
This was a great course for the person taking his first health care baby steps.

clinical setting
s you may know all the medical stuff, but abbreviations are indeed a big part of the US clinical setting.
This was a very useful course, it did what it said, helping me understand the terminology in a clinical setting.
Some of the shorthand used in this course is not relevant in the clinical setting.
The way they did things would be flagged immediately in the clinical setting.Overall though it was a decent learning experience to add to my knowledge of clinical terms, and is a good basic introduction to what you will hear while working in a clinical setting.
An advantage is that this course focuses on terms most likely heard or seen in a clinical setting.

already knew
I did not spend a lot of time on it because I already knew quite a lot of medical terminology in English and in other languages.
But overall, a very good class that helped reinforce a lot of what I already knew and enlightened me on some things I did not.
Taught me new concepts and reinforced those I already knew.

many new
Thorough and comprehensive I learned many new things, that is vital for me.
I have learn many new abbreviations that I was not aware of.
prs list
i a little bit repetitive for the PRS list glossary terms,I mean it's good to get refreshed,but I desire that in different formats rather than a list each time,maybe can consider in a fashion of video,cartoon,etc to make the PRS list even more interesting and picturesque.
I am already using the PRS list as I am studying anatomy and physiology.
