MODERN METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO TEACHING LATIN CLINICAL TERMINOLOGY IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

This article analyzes the methodology of teaching Latin-based clinical terminology in the system of medical education. Latin is considered one of the main sources of the international terminological system in medicine. The majority of modern medical terms are formed on the basis of morphemes derived from Latin and Ancient Greek. The study examines both traditional and innovative methods used in teaching clinical terminology. In particular, grammatical analysis, the morphological structure of terms, translation methods, contextual learning, and interactive pedagogical technologies are discussed. The research results demonstrate that the application of modern methodological approaches increases students’ effectiveness in mastering clinical terminology. These methods play an important pedagogical role in the formation of professional terminological competence among medical students.
