Did not love the way that it had you fill in diagrams just from the reading without providing the answers until after. Maybe I’m a boomer I just wish it would have been a more straightforward textbook. It was okay though!

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.
