Medical Terminology Flash Cards: Abbreviations Starting with E: Part 4

This set of Medical Terminology flash cards includes fifteen abbreviations that start with the letter "E." Abbreviations may have multiple meanings, and many terms have multiple abbreviations. Some of these terms are quite long - it's no wonder folks would want to abbreviate them! As more and more medical records become computerized, we will likely see fewer abbreviations. Always follow facility policy when using abbreviations. Spell out the term if there is a question about which term it represents.

Directions

1. Click on the first slide to enlarge to full screen.
2. Click on the slide or thumbnail at the bottom to advance to the next slide.
3. Study the abbreviations backwards by clicking on the last slide and clicking on the thumbnails to advance to the previous slides.
