I also encourage the students to use flash cards to study -- especially in the medical terminology course. It is definitely an effective study tool. I tell the students that it is a tool I have also used in my own studies. We also play various medical terminology games which allows some friendly competition between the students.
Nicole, using the combination of flash cards and a variety of other methods helps to cement the terms in students' memories.

I also like the flash card approach. I also use them in learning Common Drugs & Pharmacy Terminology. The students enjoy challenging their peers. A good way to end the school week.
Kim, it is always a challenge to make pharmacology less intimidating and easier to remember, but this idea will do that.
