Medical Terminology: A Programmed Systems Approach

This book has a great approach to teach you suffixes and prefixes of medical terminology. It all starts to come together on how easy it is to create and read medical terms now. There is a lot of information to learn, but using the free app, Study Blue on my iPhone made this process super easy. It's an app to create your own flash cards and tests you. I highly suggest the app to be used with this books to nail down all the definitions.

This book is the one I needed and about $60 cheaper than at the school bookstore (new), about $30 cheaper than used @ school bookstore! It came with all the same stuff, and was spiral bound like the one at school. It has a cd with games like crosswords and jeopardy to learn your terms, plus perforated flash cards in the back labeled for each chapter so you don't hafta make em yourself. Excellent choice to save money!!!

I love this book. I love the break down of the words. I love the way it leads me step by step through suffix, prefix, root word, combing form, etc. The end of unit practice, games, matching, puzzles, CD and flash cards are very helpful. The repetition required, the charts, case studies, the labeling is all also very helpful.

Some definitions of notecards in the back of the book didn't match the definition given in the actual chapter. The cross word reviews were off in box numbers for certain words, the blank fill ins didn't match the answers of the cross words in the back. My unit 6 was completely missing. If I could give this 0 stars I would. Worst $138 I've ever spent my entire college career.

This is a beautifully designed books that makes you think, "am I really learning these words? I mean who doesn't know what oophorocele is?" " oh wait, maybe that's because I've filled out the definition for this word ten times.This books really helps you learn your medical terminology in a fun and easy manor.
