Medical terminology quiz

Learn the language of medicine a word at a time.

Medical terminology is easier to learn in small daily doses than in one long cram. MediGuess gives you one term a day as a word puzzle, then teaches it properly: a plain definition, the body system it belongs to and an example of how it is used clinically.

Three multiple-choice questions follow every word. On harder levels these become short case studies, where you read the signs and symptoms and pick the diagnosis. Practice mode lets you quiz yourself on any topic whenever you want.

Browse the full list of terms in our medical words glossary, from abduction to xerostomia.
