Product Description
Quick, streamlined, and easy-to-use, bMedical Terminology: A Short Course/b shows how to decipher the meanings of medical terms by breaking them down into smaller word parts. Chabner's proven method introduces words in the context of human anatomy, physiology and pathology so concepts are easier to grasp, while instilling the basics of suffixes, prefixes, and root words essential to developing a working medical vocabulary. Extensive hands-on practice, repetition, and case studies encourage students to learn by doing - writing terms, labeling diagrams, and completing exercises and review sheets. The book's selective content provides just the right amount of material for short medical terminology courses.brbrli Self-teaching text/workbook format reinforces learning and builds confidence with pronunciation tests, diagram-labeling exercises, and review sheets.brli Full-color drawings and photographs bring anatomy and pathophysiology terms to life.brli Simple, clear, non-technical explanations of terms are easy to understand and require no previous background in medicine or science.brli Case studies and vignettes use medical terms to show real-life applications of medical terms. brli Appendices provide valuable reference information at the most basic level on supplemental topics such as anatomy of the body systems, drug classes, diagnostic tests and procedures, and abbreviations and symbols.brbrli Interactive CD-ROM packaged with the book reinforces learning with additional exercises, a new image glossary, and an audio glossary.brli More case studies and medical reports in the text and many more on CD-ROM provide a context for learning medical terms.brli iMedical Detective/i activity on the CD-ROM encourages readers to identify and correctly use medical terms within context of health care.brli Additional new and updated pathology photographs illustrate common diseases and disorders. brli The Spanish glossary contains new illustrations of the human body, including a full-body view and views of the skeletal, nervous reproductive, and endocrine systems - with labels in English and Spanish.brli iMedical Scramble/i exercises reinforce terms and make learning fun.brli iPicture Show/i exercises present an illustration and give the student the opportunity to apply knowledge to medical situations.

I am entering the nursing field and this book gave me a great jump start. I can't believe how much I learned just in the first chapter! The book has A LOT of reviews which definitely helped me understand and memorize terms. The whole structure of the book is super easy to understand. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of entering any part of the medical profession.

I have learned a lot reading this book. I work in medical records and transcribe dictations and this has really helped me a lot in this area being that I have no medical terminology knowledge at all. I love the CD that comes with it, you can take test over and over on it. It's awesome. br /
