Riassunto

Building on the best-selling MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS series, this comprehensive text is designed to help students with no healthcare background achieve deep competence in medical terminology. In addition to 14 in-depth chapters on body systems and a unit on diagnostic procedures and nuclear medicine, the text includes chapters dedicated to key specialty areas, including mental health, infant and child health, gerontology, oncology and pharmacology. With a time-tested chapter and learning exercise structure that has made the series a leader for over 30 years, this reader-friendly new resource features streamlined content, contemporary illustrations and real-world examples to help make even complex material accessible to students with varied learning styles, as well as ESL learners. Each chapter begins with a vocabulary list of 60 key terms and 15 essential word parts. Terms are pronounced in MindTap as they appear, and the Pronounce app features innovative voice recognition software that allows you to record your pronunciations and receive immediate feedback. Application-based activities give you practice with critical skills such as term dissection and word-building in a real-world context, providing valuable exposure to a variety of medical reports.
