Latin and medicine

I have just completed my second semester of latin. I originally took latin in the hope it would help prepare me for medical school. I learned a lot in the class, however I don't feel that much of what I learned will help me in medical school. I do feel that if I decide to learn another language that I will be better prepared since latin is the basis of many languages. Latin is a very challenging language.

You might be interested in Latinum's new audio course in Latin, specifically designed for medical and pharmacology students: This uses a text originally written by J.W.Underwood for students taking the Latin exams at the Royal College of Physicians and at Apothecaries Hall.
All the examples and the entire syntax is drawn from medical works in Latin, and the vocabulary is entirely tailored to medicine, with an emphasis on pharmacology.
