Want to help students learn medical terms on their terms? Exploring Medical Language, 10th Edition is a one-of-a-kind resource incorporating all the proven methods for mastering medical terminology that work best for today’s students. At the heart of this tenth edition is the innovative worktext, which enables students to gradually acquire an understanding of medical terminology by first mastering word parts and then learning how to combine the parts into full medical terms that make sense. Additionally, a wealth of engaging online learning tools — such as interactive games, case studies, and on-the-go auditory reviews — work in tandem with the material being covered in the worktext to help reinforce learning and aid in professional application. It’s the all-in-one medical terminology package that truly speaks to today’s students.
