Medical terms are in the news and more a part of our daily lives than we realize

Medical terms are in the news and more a part of our daily lives than we realize. Your assignment is to review several daily mainstream Internet news sites (i.e. Foxnews.com, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, KOMO, etc.) and find recent articles that discuss topics related to the fields of medicine and/or health science. Look for health or health care on the new site’s banner. You may also search daily newspapers for articles but avoid journals or sites that simply gather articles for review. This assignment demonstrates how often medical terms are in the daily news, so focus on sources that provide that perspective.
As you read through the articles you will collect the following information.
Articles, or references, from at least 3 mainstream INTERNET DAILY NEWS websites (more may be required based on the number of terms found in each). Make certain your terms come from daily news sites. As a reminder, journals, research oriented or health care focused websites such as Science Daily or the New England Journal of Medicine are not mainstream daily news sources.
Identify 20 medical terms. Select terms similar to those you have been studying. Avoid complex terms such as those related to chemicals. Also avoid “common” terms such as fever, cough, organ A good example of a medical term is pericardium.
Break the terms down into word elements. An example is pericardium which is breaks down into peri cardi um.
Categorize the word elements. An example of categorizing the elements is prefix peri, suffix um, word root/combining form cardi which is a word root.
Define the word elements. An example of defining word elements is peri means around, um means structure, tissue or thing and cardi means heart.
Provide the medical definition of the term. An example is the pericardium is the membranous sac that surrounds and encloses the heart and includes the bases of the great vessels.
Your work can be submitted as list, a PowerPoint presentation, or formatted as a table. Many find using a table helps organize the material. An example is provided for your review.
