Your assignment is to research a medical topic of interest to you using professional medical journals such as JAMA, Nursing or Dental or Physical, Occupational, or Speech journals.
1) Write a two page summary of the material you read. This must use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Underline and bold the terms you will be defining in the body of your paper. These terms must be used appropriately and not just listed at the end of your paper.
2) Use APA formatting guidelines. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01
3) List and define (in your own words) five terms (each term must have at least 3 elements, each element must be labeled and defined as well as a complete definition of the term provided.) You must provide a complete definition of the whole term in your own words, not copied from a dictionary. Do not merely repeat the meanings of the elements.
Example: 1. & 2. Endometrial Adenocarcinoma- A malignant tumor in the mucous membrane lining the uterus.
endo-: prefix meaning inside or within
metr/o: root meaning uterus
-al: suffix meaning pertaining to
aden/o: root meaning gland
carcin/o: root meaning cancer
-oma: suffix meaning tumor or mass
