The perfect text for a shorter medical terminology course, Basic Medical Language, 6th Edition provides the foundation your students need to confidently communicate with other members of the health care team. This basic medical vocabulary text focuses on building students’ word skills by explaining a carefully selected group of suffixes, prefixes, and combining forms to provide the basis for recognizing and defining hundreds of medical terms. Clear, illustrated lessons present terms by body system, introducing word parts and providing review exercises that ask students to define terms or combine word parts to create terms. The new edition of this text also reinforces student learning with case studies, images, exercises and carefully crafted, fully accessible Evolve resources.
