This is Part 6 of my Medical Terminology flash cards featuring abbreviations beginning with the letter "C." Some medical abbreviations have multiple meanings, while some terms have more than one abbreviation.
If you are in a specialty area, you will often immediately know which definition is appropriate; however, if you are in a general area, there are times when it is safest to write out the term rather than abbreviating it.
