A Short Course in Medical Terminology 4th Edition Pdf Book Description:

Maintaining its logical association, body systems approach, and concentrate on word parts, word construction, and term analysis; this 4th Model of A Short Course in Medical Terminology reflects current clinical use and is currently more succinct, student-friendly, and available. This new edition builds on the foundation established in the previous three editions. The reader will find the writing style of this edition easy to follow, with special focus given to ensuring that each page is user friendly and accessible to all levels of learning. As educators, we wanted to be sure that students found the content manageable, interesting, and understandable.

Welcome to the field of medical terminology. This workbook-textbook is written to teach the language of medicine in an engaging and meaningful way.It is written to represent the real world so that you can move seamlessly from the classroom to actual practice. The approach is based on research that demonstrates how students learn best. To that end, we used a three-pronged approach: (1) immersion—the terms are presented in context; (2) chunking— the material is given in manageable units; and (3) practice exercises that allow you to check your knowledge. Learning word parts is also an essential component of learning the terms. If you learn the tables of word parts, you will be well on your way to knowing medical terms you have never encountered, because you can figure out the terms by breaking them into their component word parts. This will be quite useful, because not every word you will encounter in your careers is found in this book, but you will be equipped with the knowledge to understand their meaning. We also encourage you to pay special attention to the analysis sections in the Study Tables, as these provide interesting, foundational information for forming medical terms. This variant features an improved artwork and layout application, a more standardized chapter arrangement, and a huge variety of in-text and online learning tools which help students master the terminology of medication as they prepare for training in today’s rapidly changing health environment.
