Short Course in Medical Terminology with Navigate Advantage Access

by Judi L. Nath

Short Course in Medical Terminology is a workbook-textbook intended to teach the language of medicine in an engaging and meaningful way and is written to represent the real world so that you can move seamlessly from the classroom to actual practice. Each chapter begins with an engaging case study, followed by ample opportunity for learning and applying, and concludes with reflection. Learning and application use a three-pronged (1) immersion― the terms are presented in context; (2) chunking― the material is given in manageable units; and (3) practice―exercises allow you to check your knowledge and your ability to apply concepts to new situations.
