@141942 Many of us have the same problem. Figuring out what initials stand for. If you come to a discussion that is important to you, you can put in the initials or name of what you don’t understand, into the search box and the name will come up. I’ve been a nurse for 30 years and I have to do this frequently!
It does take a while before you are completely comfortable with these anacronyms and names of specific things. And I don’t think there is a Cliff Notes to help you.
I just checked out Mayo Clinic’s information web site to see if it had some information—it does! Go to the bottom of this page into the blue area. Scroll thru the column on the left until you come to Mayo Clinic Connect under the symbol for Mayo Clinic. Then click on the small letters for MayoClinic.org. This will take you to a page with an alphabet and you can look up words and initials. I put in MCTS because you will see it frequently. You can either tap the search button or go to the
M in the circle and tap on that. They should bring up the appropriate page for you. Either @colleenyoung or @johnbishop will probably explain it much better! I hope this will help you!
