Product Description
Quick, streamlined, and easy-to-use, Medical Terminology: A Short Course shows how to decipher the meanings of medical terms by breaking them down into smaller word parts. Chabner's proven method introduces words in the context of human anatomy, physiology and pathology so concepts are easier to grasp, while instilling the basics of suffixes, prefixes, and root words essential to developing a working medical vocabulary. Extensive hands-on practice, repetition, and case studies encourage students to learn by doing – writing terms, labeling diagrams, and completing exercises and review sheets. The book's selective content provides just the right amount of material for short medical terminology courses. * Self-teaching text/workbook format reinforces learning and builds confidence with pronunciation tests, diagram-labeling exercises, and review sheets. * Full-color drawings and photographs bring anatomy and pathophysiology terms to life. * Simple, clear, non-technical explanations of terms are easy to understand and require no previous background in medicine or science. * Case studies and vignettes use medical terms to show real-life applications of medical terms. * Appendices provide valuable reference information at the most basic level on supplemental topics such as anatomy of the body systems, drug classes, diagnostic tests and procedures, and abbreviations and symbols.

Excellent resource!, 2009-01-09
This book is the missing link I wished I'd had when I was taking the year-long Survey of Western Clinical Medicine series for my program. The format is ideal for learning a great deal in a short period of time, and it's fun. The inclusion of one audio CD and one additional quiz CD is also very helpful. My only critique is that the audio CD could have been even longer -- but what's there really helps cement the material in your head when you want to give your eyes a break and just listen. This is one of the books that was most helpful for me in studying for the Biomedicine module for the NCCAOM board exams. I'm going to keep it on my shelf for future reference, because it is that useful.

RN to be!, 2008-08-05
I am entering the nursing field and this book gave me a great jump start. I can't believe how much I learned just in the first chapter! The book has A LOT of reviews which definitely helped me understand and memorize terms. The whole structure of the book is super easy to understand. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of entering any part of the medical profession.

I enjoy this very much, 2008-03-29
I have learned a lot reading this book. I work in medical records and transcribe dictations and this has really helped me a lot in this area being that I have no medical terminology knowledge at all. I love the CD that comes with it, you can take test over and over on it. It's awesome.
