This new 10th edition includes the most current content to meet national curriculum and accreditation standards and still has the depth

and learning objectives, enhance both the learning and teaching experience. With its focus on personal qualities, skills, responsibilities,
types of patient education, and legal and ethical issues, the text remains the strongest foundation for learning the medical assisting
