MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY – THE DEAN VAUGHN TOTAL RETENTION SYSTEM™

$155

with Kandy Siahaya

The Dean Vaughn Total Retention System™ is the fastest and most effective method to learn medical terminology! It works in conjunction with the natural learning process of the brain by converting abstract medical elements into images of real and familiar objects – and then associating those images with the subject in such a way that it is incredibly easy to learn and remember.

This course has 14 modules with review activities and quizzes within each module. A course outline and Learning Guide Workbook will be provided. This is a self-paced, online course. 

Kandy owned a successful medical transcription service for 25 years until the industry changed to an electronic medical record format. she did medical transcription the “old school” way and absolutely loved it! Consequently, she has extensive knowledge of medical terminology and medical records and became a licensed instructor of the Dean Vaughn Total Retention System™. This is the same format she used 30 years ago to learn medical terminology in college, so when she became a consultant, it was the only format she considered because of its extremely effective learning process.

Self-paced, online course available 24/7 September 5 to October 31, 2023
