Note: This is a standalone book and does not include access card.

Emphasizing current, relevant, "need-to-know" terms that will help you succeed in the health care field, MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS, 8E simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on the important word parts--common prefixes, suffixes and root words--to provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, chapters begin with an overview of the terminology related to the body's structures and functions, proceed through diseases and disorders, and end with diagnostic procedures and treatments. A proven combination of learning principles and exercises helps you master the language necessary to describe how the human body works, what goes wrong with it, and how it is treated. An updated art program features the latest terms and procedures as well as multi-cultural/multi-generational photos that accurately portray the opportunities available in today's medical field.

This book deserves negative stars because it contains not just countless typos, but an astonishing amount of false information. I am an MD shifting careers and this was required reading for a certification course. I only finished it so that I could have a more complete record of all the errors to present to the publisher.

The text is clear and to the point. What I found greatly helpful was the glossaries. Perfect study tool for anyone in Medical Office Administration.

No kiss in this whole book, a little ridiculous if you ask me. Even more ridiculous is the insane amount of typos and grammatical errors it contained.

I'm amazed I forgot to mark this one as read! But I loved using it. It wasn't an exciting adventure story, but I definitely did stay up late reading it! And it got me an A+ in the course so I'm happy :) If anyone remembers the date of the last day of the first semester, then I can put that as the date I finished it. . .

I read this as a requirement for a certification I did. Just a excellent textbook that made me happy to learn about the body. I also recommend the workbook and it came with a cd that had additional information.

This book is laid out perfectly. I had to squeeze these chapters into a 5 week class, and there's no way I could've gotten it done if this book wasn't so organized. I really liked it!
