A thorough understanding of medical terminology will make you a more desirable candidate when applying for certain roles at UHN. Speak about your knowledge and experience in this area and any courses or classes you may have taken. If you lack skills in this area, demonstrate to the interviewer your willingness to learn and your ability to self-help and learn new information quickly.

"On a scale of 1-5, I would rate my knowledge of medical terminology at a 4. I have worked in the hospital for about five years, so I've built an extensive vocabulary and a thorough understanding of medical terms, acronyms, and jargon. If I do not recognize a word or acronym, I'm quick to look it up on the internet or in the medical dictionary I keep in my desk drawer."

"I would rate myself a 2 out of 5. I'm newer to healthcare, but I do have a foundation of terminology from a couple of healthcare courses I took in secondary school. I love watching healthcare shows on TV, so I've picked up a bit of knowledge from that as well. I'm very eager to learn and am more than willing to put the effort into researching and learning to be successful in this role."
