One technique that people use when they are first learning medical terminology is to create their own acronyms. Remember, this involves taking one letter from each word to form a single new word or phrase. Although this technique takes some imagination and creativity, it can be extremely effective. To get started, take a group of related words, look at their first letter and rearrange them to form something that is easy to remember. Create an acronym of your own for any terms, diseases, treatments, body parts etc. from the body structure.
