Welcome to the MTWorld free resource on medical suffixes. We have gathered the most common medical suffix information and made it available for your use on our website. Although these standard medical suffixes have been designed with medical transcription in mind, they can also benefit non medical transcriptionists and anyone else in a healthcare or medical career field or anyone who has an interest in learning more about medical terminology and the language of medicine.
