METS (Medical English Terms) teaches medical terminology the way it is built: by roots, prefixes and suffixes, placed in the anatomy and clinical scenes where you will meet them. LEARN BY CHAPTER 22 chapters organized by body system and clinical practice, over 3,000 terms. Every card has a definition, the word broken into parts with the meaning of each part, a memory tip, related words, and a clinical example sentence. LEARN BY SCENE 650 illustrated anatomy and clinical scenes with terms labeled where they belong. Tap a label to open the card. Finish a scene and take its quiz. ROOT FINDER 85 prefixes, 1,486 roots and 322 suffixes. Look up a root to see every term that uses it, or open any term to see how it is built. Meet a new word, break it down, and you can usually guess it. AI BREAKDOWN Any medical term outside the library: type it and AI breaks it into roots with a definition, memory tip, related words and an example, in about 10 seconds, in your language. MY WORD BOOKS Paste a word list from your textbook, lecture notes or exam syllabus. Terms in the library get the curated card; the rest are generated by AI. Choose how many new words a day, and reviews are scheduled by the forgetting curve with daily check-ins. Finished today's plan? Keep going, and the extra counts as ahead of schedule. FLASHCARD DECKS Make your own decks: paste front | back pairs or import a CSV. Set a daily plan, flip and rate each card,and reviews follow the forgetting curve. Long cards are supported, and words in 「」 are highlighted. REVIEW & QUIZ Learned words return when they are due. Saved words join the review queue. Every scene has a quiz.
