The Role of Terminology in Medical Education and Training

Abstract

The aims are to present a uniform terminology (terms), which can be suitably used throughout the world for enumeration of characteristics by which an item can be identified and distinguished. Nomenclature is a list of terms classified in a logical system. Description must be as objective as possible and the terms used must be specific for the method. Terminology, definitions, and diagnostic criteria in digestive endoscopy have been published in several languages.
