Description

This popular introduction to medical terminology is flexible enough to be used in a traditional or a self-instructional course format. The level of detail is appropriate for those students needing only a general knowledge of medical terminology, particularly medical secretaries, medical technologists, medical librarians, and persons in all allied and paramedical health professions. After studying the basics of pronunciation, students can study the chapters in any order the instructor deems appropriate. The text has been thoughtfully revised based on the feedback of many adopters. The result is a more streamlined presentation with enhanced student learning aids. Organizational changes include the following: all general word parts are grouped together in Unit One; a review chapter on root words is provided in Unit Four, immediately before the body systems; the coverage of body systems in Unit Five closely parallels the content of earlier chapters; and an overview of each body system is included at the beginning of the chapters in Unit Five.
