MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND BODY SYSTEMS COURSE (MTBS): Optional science pre-requisite

This course is not mandatory for all applicants, but it is strongly recommended for everyone.

Course Description: This course is designed to prepare students for the pure science components of the Massage Therapy program. By introducing students to anatomical, physiological and pathological terms, a foundational understanding of the meaning behind the common language used by the health professions will be developed. The purpose of learning and building a medical vocabulary is not only to communicate effectively with other members of the health care team, but also to prepare students for success within the Massage Therapy diploma program.

If you are registering for this course, it must be completed prior to the start date of your program.
