Product Description

Product Description

A knowledge of medical terminology is essential for employment in many health care professions. This attractive and easy to use self-teaching text provides a simple, interactive and comprehensive guide to the language of medicine. Following a brief introduction to the basic components of medical words, each unit deals with a different body system and follows a standard plan:
Word exercises
An anatomy exercise based on an illustration
A case history
Medical notes
A word check
A self assessment
By breaking words into their component parts and applying knowledge through exercises and examples from patient care, the reader learns how words are formed and becomes familiar with the common roots and suffixes of medical words as well as how they will be encountered in practice. In addition the text provides a comprehensive glossary and a list of common abbreviations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Terminology - This is the way to learn, 12 Jul 2004
By A Customer
I own this book and found it to be a fantstic study aid, it is very easy to follow. The exercises are great, they allow you to get used to how the prefix-suffix-combining forms come together to make the word. Plus you have the self assessment exercises to check on your progress. I used it a lot in the run up to my AMSPAR Medical Reception exams, and will continue to use for my AMSPAR Medical Secretary course. It is also very well illustrated and split into units for each body system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andrew Hutton - Medical Terminology, 3 Sep 2004
I bought this book while doing an Access to Nursing course. The book tied into the class work we were doing in medical terminology. An excellent book to help you come to grips with all the suffixes and prefixes and just plain medical terminology. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Amspar reference book , 3 Jun 2006
A great book for the AMSPAR Advanced Med. Sec.Course (medical terminology section)- I found it really useful and it has clear exercises and self tests along with lists of prefixes and suffixes for each body system.Excellent index and list of abbreviations.
If you like learning systematically and methodically this is the one for you.
