Help students quickly build a working medical vocabulary with Chabner’s Medical Terminology: A Short Course, 10th Edition! Based on Davi-Ellen Chabner's proven learning method, this streamlined text helps students master the basics of medical vocabulary, including the most frequently encountered prefixes, suffixes, and word roots. Medical terms are introduced in the context of human anatomy and physiology to help students understand the exact meaning, with case studies, vignettes, and activities demonstrating how they're used in practice. With writing and interacting with medical terminology on almost every page, students will learn by doing. In addition, an accessible Evolve companion website reinforces understanding with medical animations, word games, flash cards, and more.
