Would a course in Medical Terminology be considered under BCPM or no?

 

[Finches]

Hard to judge based on a course name. In which department is it classified, by your school? What was the course content?

My knee-jerk reaction is no.

Department is "Biotechnology and Clinical Research"
course description: "Understanding medical terminology is fundamental for anyone working in the sciences. It is the language of the technician or researcher involved in biotechnology, biomedical investigations, or clinical research. Students learn the analysis and construction of medical words within a context of scientific concepts. After the basics, students learn the anatomy and diseases of the following systems: male and female reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and blood."

I took a medical terminology class and did not categorize it as BCPM. AMCAS agreed.

I most often see it labeled as "HEAL" which I guess means "health"; not BCPM.

A friend who is applying this cycle took that class. Said it didn't count.

Most medical terminology classes are basically applied etymology.
