The text is intended to provide students with a basic foundation in the language of veterinary medicine—veterinary medical terminology. In my experience as an educator, I learned that if students are to be successful, they must immediately apply what they have learned. That is why anatomy, physiology, disease concepts, and clinical case information are included at an introductory level.

The scientific information provides immediate application of the terminology presented in each chapter. Clinical case studies provide students with an opportunity to test their knowledge at the end of each chapter. It is my hope that the scientific information brings this new language to life and gives students an insatiable desire to learn even more. If you’ve learned a foreign language, you know that simply memorizing words does not make you fluent in the language.

Context is everything. Likewise, medical terms must be read, spoken, and used in context. Repetition and practice in all aspects of the language makes you fluent. In my experience, facts memorized without reinforcement or application are soon forgotten. And if we forget medical terminology, we do our patients a disservice.

So, students, I encourage you to lay a strong foundation for your career, by learning medical terminology well. Veterinary medicine and its language are ever-evolving. A commitment to lifelong learning is essential to the success of every veterinary professional and the patients they serve.
