The textbook Graeco-Latin Terminology of Medicine represents a modern didactic resource intended for international students of general and dental medicine. It is based on extensive teaching experience and reflects current requirements of medical education in English. The publication offers a clear and systematic presentation of Graeco-Latin terminology, which forms the foundation of professional medical language. The work is divided into two complementary volumes – a theoretical part (Grammar Reference) and a practical part (Practice and Exercises) – which together form a comprehensive learning system. The first volume provides a systematic explanation of the fundamentals of Latin and Graeco-Latin terminology, including an introduction to its historical development. Emphasis is placed on the gradual acquisition of grammatical concepts in logical sequence and their practical application in medical terminology. The second volume builds on the theoretical knowledge and offers a wide range of exercises, review questions, and revision units that support knowledge consolidation. The textbook reflects the latest nomenclature standards (TA2, ICD-11, TA2023AG, TAH) and presents updated anatomical and clinical terminology. It also includes terminological excursuses explaining the meaning of selected technical terms and so-called double forms. The graphic design, tables, diagrams, and illustrations enhance readability and increase the didactic value of the text. The publication is suitable both as a primary study resource for teaching medical terminology and as a supplementary source for students and educators in the field of medical education.
