Master medical terms on your terms! A combination text/workbook, Exploring Medical Language, 12th 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 you 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, you can visit an Evolve companion website with games, activities, flashcards, and practice exams. From well-known educators Danielle LaFleur Brooks, Dale Levinsky, and Myrna LaFleur Brooks, this learning package helps you gain fluency in medical language and communicate clearly in the health care setting.
