Here is a link to a resource from the grant that I worked on: https://www.skillscommons.org/handle/taaccct/7825 . There is a Medical Terminology module (two modules, I believe) organized according to each body system. There are also worksheets that accompany the modules which help the learner to review his or her understanding of the basic prefixes, root words, and suffixes for medical terms and procedures.
We've found several learning resources for medical terminology and cataloged them at KnowledgeToWork.com. You can find all these resources with this link: https://www.knowledgetowork.com/search-setsearchbar.php?sswcode=COMP&pid=1092102&search=CompetencyName . Not all are openly licensed, but you can use the filters on the left to narrow the results by copyright license.
