"On a scale of 1-5, I would rate my knowledge of medical terminology at a 3. I didn't grow up with anyone in my family working in healthcare, so I've had to learn quickly through my training and self-study. I feel I have a strong foundation of knowledge, and I love to learn, so I'm quick to research a term or medication if I'm not familiar; that way, I can commit it to memory for future use. I listen to healthcare-related podcasts, so I think between those and listening to my colleagues, I will pick things up quickly."

"On a scale of 1-5, I would rate my knowledge of medical terminology a 4.5. I have worked in a pharmacy for ten years in a hospital and community setting, so I've built an extensive vocabulary and a thorough understanding of medical terms, acronyms, medication names, etc. On the rare occasion 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 by my computer."
