Medical Terminology for Health Professions

by Ann Ehrlich

A proven and unique combination of learning principles and exercises, this widely respected book continues to get better! Medical Terminology for Health Professions, Fifth Edition, simplifies the process of learning hundreds of difficult, complex medical terms. The see and say pronunciation system makes pronouncing unfamiliar terms easy. Because word parts are such an important aspect of learning medical terminology, mastery of these building blocks is emphasized throughout the book. Organized by body system, chapters begin with an overview of the structures and functions of that system so you can relate these to specialty, pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures that follow.

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!
