Any clinician who enters the medical profession understands that a large part of the training is learning the lingo and essentially a new language. Even those who have been in practice for quite some time know that new fields of study emerge, and new terms can be borne out of that. Sometimes the medical jargon can get confusing even though what is being discussed is not new.

In today’s episode, we discuss some of the latest terms and how/why their use in clinical practice evolves. We also try to clarify a few concepts that many of us confuse and misuse.

Today on The Lab Report: 
3:25 Medical lingo and jargon
4:00 Omics…… and ‘ooooomm’
6:00 Proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics
7:15 Metabolomics and making sense of patterns
11:15 The Jargonomics Game

British vs. American medical terms
14:30 Causation and correlation
18:20 Question of the Day

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
