Nowadays, we use abbreviations and acronyms to speed up and make our communications more efficient. These shortened words and phrases, once limited to specialized fields, have become common in our everyday written and spoken interactions. For example, in the medical field, these terms are used not only in communications among healthcare providers but also in conversations between patients and providers.
During this webinar, the presenter will cover basic grammatical concepts, the most used medical abbreviations, their meanings, and where to find them. The class will be conducted in English, with some examples provided in Spanish.
