Let students master medical terms on their terms! A combination text/workbook, Exploring Medical Language: A Student-Directed Approach, Twelfth 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 Evolve companion 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 healthcare setting.
