Medical Terminology For Health Professions

by Ann Ehrlich

A proven and unique combination of learning principles and exercises, this highly acclaimed book continues to get better! Medical Terminology for Health Professions, Sixth Edition, simplifies the process of learning hundreds of complex medical terms. The See and Say pronunciation system makes pronouncing unfamiliar terms easy. Because word parts are integral to learning medical terminology, mastery of these "building blocks" is emphasized in every chapter. Organized by body system, chapters begin with an overview of the structures and functions of that system so you can relate these to the specialists, pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures that follow. Learning Exercises in each chapter offer a variety of formats that require written answers. Writing terms reinforces learning and provides practice to help master spelling and enhance comprehension.

This book deserves negative stars because it contains not just countless typos, but an astonishing amount of false information. I am an MD shifting careers and this was required reading for a certification course. I only finished it so that I could have a more complete record of all the errors to present to the publisher.

Textbook for my school course. So why not add it to my finished list? 😅

The text is clear and to the point. What I found greatly helpful was the glossaries. Perfect study tool for anyone in Medical Office Administration.

If i never have to read this textbook again, it'll be too soon.

No kiss in this whole book, a little ridiculous if you ask me. Even more ridiculous is the insane amount of typos and grammatical errors it contained.

I'm amazed I forgot to mark this one as read! But I loved using it. It wasn't an exciting adventure story, but I definitely did stay up late reading it! And it got me an A+ in the course so I'm happy :) If anyone remembers the date of the last day of the first semester, then I can put that as the date I finished it. . .

I read this as a requirement for a certification I did. Just a excellent textbook that made me happy to learn about the body. I also recommend the workbook and it came with a cd that had additional information.

This book is laid out perfectly. I had to squeeze these chapters into a 5 week class, and there's no way I could've gotten it done if this book wasn't so organized. I really liked it!
