Program details
Overview
The Certificate in Medical Language is a 15-credit-unit undergraduate certificate recognizing proficiency in medical terminology, including etymology, word formation, and the conventions of contemporary usage. Students complete 12 required credit units in classics and Latin, including CLAS 103.3, CLAS 203.3, LATN 112.3, and LATN 113.3, plus 3 elective credit units chosen from courses such as CLAS 101.3, CLAS 431.3, GRK 112.3, HIST 273.3, and LATN 202.3. Coursework develops the skills needed to define medical terms, including the Latin phrases that make up the Terminologia Anatomica, the international corpus of anatomical names, and to coin original terminology for new medical conditions, procedures, and discoveries. The certificate can be completed over one to two years, on a full-time or part-time basis, and applicants may enter directly from high school. At least half of the required coursework must be completed at the University of Saskatchewan.
