Description
Quickly master the basics of medical terminology and begin speaking and writing terms almost immediately! Based on Davi Chabner's effective
learning methods, this book's straightforward approach omits time-consuming, nonessential information and focuses on helping you actively
build a working vocabulary of the most frequently encountered suffixes, prefixes, and word roots. Terms are introduced in the context
of human anatomy and physiology to help you understand exactly what they mean, and case studies and vignettes throughout the book demonstrate
how they're used in practice. With all this plus NEW animations and games on the companion CD, you'll be amazed at how easily medical
terminology becomes part of your vocabulary.
