Let students master medical terms on their terms! A combination text/workbook, Exploring Medical Language, 11th Edition provides exercises that make it easy to build an understanding of medical terminology. Organized by body system, medical terms are divided into two categories: 1) Words built from word parts, and 2) Words NOT built from word parts. Fun and engaging exercises help students first learn word parts and then learn how to combine the parts into full medical terms that make sense. The text also comes packaged with paper flashcards. For more practice, an accessible Evolve website offers games, activities, flashcards, and practice exams. An innovative teaching/learning package, this worktext helps students gain fluency in medical language and communicate clearly in the health care setting.

- Systematic presentation provides a foundation of word parts (prefix, suffix, word root, and combining vowel), then builds words by combining the parts.
- Case studies ask students to interpret medical terms used in medical records and to translate everyday language into medical language.
- Full-color illustrations encourage students to apply the meaning of word parts by labeling anatomical figures.
- Abbreviations tables introduce abbreviated medical terms related to chapter content, and are supplemented with exercises, flashcards, and practice quizzes.
- Reviews of word parts and terms provide students the practice they absolutely need to define, pronounce, and spell medical terminology.
- More than 400 flashcards enable students to review word parts whenever and wherever they want.
- Interactive exercises and games on the Evolve website provide endless opportunities to practice building, hearing, and spelling terms.
