The third edition of this user-friendly book reflects current trends and new approaches to teaching medical terminology. It uses a programmed learning format to give students the freedom to learn medical terminology at their own pace but can also be used in the classroom. The new art work throughout the book enables the student to see a true representation of the body system or pathological condition. To help students learn easily and quickly, each body system unit includes a summary of major combining forms, a comprehensive pathology section, and additional medical records and evaluations.
I used this book to study for the CMT exam. It served as a refresher of my past training in the field of medical transcription some 30 years ago. Medical Terminology Simplified covers current practical use of anatomy and physiology terms--the meanings of Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes. It includes case studies in medical record documentation and other pertinent aspects of medical terminology. This book became my favorite study tool in preparation for the credentially exam. I highly recommend it for others pursuing their credentials and for anyone interested in the anatomy and physiology of the remarkable human body.
Great book. I originally took my med term class using a earlier version of this book. Apparently I still know my crap because this was an awesome review and I got through the whole book in a couple weeks studying 1-2 hours a day. Great way to learn or review terminology.
