Medical Terminology: A Short Course eBook

Introduce students to the basics of medical terminology with Medical Terminology: A Short Course, 8th Edition! Based on Davi-Ellen Chabner’s proven learning method, this streamlined text omits time-consuming, nonessential information and helps students quickly build a working medical vocabulary of the most frequently encountered prefixes, suffixes, and word roots. Medical terms are introduced in the context of human anatomy and physiology so that students understand exactly what they mean, and case studies, vignettes, and activities demonstrate how they’re used in practice. With writing and interacting with medical terminology on almost every page, students learn the content by doing the work. In addition, an Evolve companion website reinforces understanding with medical animations, word games, and flash cards.
