MED 121 Student Testimonials

Learn what former students said about their experience taking the MED 121 support classes:

"I have struggled with the pronunciation of the medical terms to some extent and having the support class has helped me with talking about the terms and pronouncing them correctly. In general, it has been a helpful class for reviewing and learning."

"It is a lot of information to learn weekly. The support class was good at helping me see the systems of the body as a whole rather than just term after term after term."
