try -- CCCOnline Home Page it's only a 2 credit class generally, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a summer session. I am pretty sure University of Iowa also offers one online.

I'm assuming it can be LL. Most community colleges will offer medical terminology classes. I teach med term at a community college and it is always on our fall schedule every year and some areas will offer it during the summer session, although our state is getting more restrictive on summer classes we can offer. A school that has a large nursing program or allied health programs would be a good bet to offer it in the summer.
