Medical Terminology and Common Medical Acronyms with Andrew Moore, MD
Clinical Scholar in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford, Andrew Moore, MD, provides a foundation in medical terminology and common medical acronyms. In this session, he discusses the typical components of medical terms as well as the important anatomic landmarks, which in combination can be used to interpret the majority of medical terminology. Topics include: • Key roots, prefixes, and suffixes for medical terms • Important anatomic terminology • Importance of acronyms in medical practice • When the use of medical acronyms is appropriate and when it should be avoided • Common medical acronyms, abbreviations, and colloquialisms • Resources to improve health literacy Andrew Moore, MD, is a pulmonary and critical care medicine instructor at Stanford. He grew up in Virginia and completed his Bachelor’s in Neuroscience at the College of William and Mary followed by his MD at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and his residency and chief residency here at Stanford. He works clinically in the intensive care unit (ICU) and his research focuses on the use of bioinformatics to develop better diagnostic and prognostic tools in the ICU.
