Free Medical Word Search Puzzles (Printable PDFs + Answer Keys)

Medical vocabulary is built from parts, and the first of these two printable word searches hides them: a PREFIX, a SUFFIX and a ROOTWORD, then the pieces students meet in their first terminology unit. CARDIO is the heart, NEURO the nerves, GASTRO the stomach, OSTEO bone, HEPATO the liver, NEPHRO the kidney and DERMA the skin; ITIS means inflammation, OLOGY the study of, ECTOMY surgical removal, ALGIA pain and TACHY fast.

The second sheet turns to healthcare careers: the DOCTOR, NURSE and SURGEON, the PHARMACIST and PARAMEDIC, specialists such as the CARDIOLOGIST, DERMATOLOGIST, RADIOLOGIST and PEDIATRICIAN, and roles like the DIETITIAN, PHLEBOTOMIST, OPTOMETRIST and MIDWIFE. Both come with an answer key on page two. The word list runs medium-to-hard and suits health science students from about 13 up. More in the health word searches.
