Is the Medical Terminology Refresher course a prerequisite for the HIM program?
Medical Terminology is not a prerequisite for the HIM program. However, medical terminology is an intrinsic part of any health records department, and our HIM students must be employed in a health records department or work in a health care environment and have the official support of a health records professional in order to take the course. As such, our students are all quite familiar with medical terminology.
