Description

This glossary provides simple but accurate definitions for over 200 health-science terms from the fields of anatomy (muscle, spinal cord), pathology (anemia, stroke), nutrition (carbohydrate, sodium), and psychology (defence mechanism, compensation). Each term includes suggested Inuktitut translations in both roman and syllabics from three communities: Gjoa Haven, Baker Lake, and Clyde River. This essential resource will provide health-science instructors in nunavut with an easy-to-use reference to assist in educating the next generation of Nunavut health workers.
