Now in its Sixth Edition, Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide is geared to the mid-level medical terminology course, and includes moderate amounts of anatomy and physiology. The author uses a stepwise approach to learning medical terminology. Part 1 describes how medical terms are built from word parts; Part 2 introduces body structures, diseases, and treatments; and Part 3 describes each body system. Individual chapters also build on knowledge in stages, with Key Terms sections listing those terms most commonly used and later Supplementary Terms sections presenting more specialized terms. This edition has a more reader-friendly design, provides more complete representation of the health professions, and includes dental terminology. Written pronunciations are included for all appropriate terms. A robust online ancillary package aids retention through exercises, games, and activities. PASSport to Success allows students to identify their personal learning style and target exercises and activities best suited to their learning style.

Review

JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College, JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College -- "I really love how many exercises the students are given to practice their medical terminology skills! I would give Cohen an A for overall thoroughness."-JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College, Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College -- "I loved the idea of the pretests. This gives the student a 'heads up' toward the learning process and main elements of the chapter. I loved the detail of the explanations for the 'focus on words' segment. This goes far beyond just giving examples. The writing style was clear and easy to understand. I would recommend it."-Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College, Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College -- "I love the layout of the chapters, looks like it flows great from one section to the next. It is an AWESOME BOOK! I feel the author did a great job. If the level of our students is not as high then this book will bring them up to higher level. I think this is what we are needing, bringing students to a higher level of learning. Each chapter was well written, each section seems crystal clear to me."-Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College

This is a good book for learning medical terminology. I am studying to become a Medical Coder at home by myself. Even if you don't want to be a Medical Coder, most jobs in the health care industry, such as medical receptionist, admissions clerk, data-entry clerk, all want the candidate to have medical terminology knowledge and application. This is the book to learn it from!
The book "breaks down" each medical words to really explain the the meanings of the prefix, suffixes and root. There are tests within each chapter to check your comprehension and progress and additionally, case studies to give you examples. I love the colorful and informative illustrations in this book. It is well written with very clear explanations with the end of chapter assessments so you can review what you have learned before moving on to the next chapter.

アメリカの医療関係学生のためのテキスト。さすが、アメリカの教科書と言う感。分かりやすく、丁寧に医学用語を解説しており、医学英語学習者には最適。単元ごとに語彙の復習ができる仕組みになっている。分厚い本だが、読み始めるとすらすらと次に進んでしまう。

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than expected
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2011

I bought this as a supplement to a medical billing and coding certification class. I had no idea how student-friendly, straightforward, detailed and easy to understand this would be. This is a great tool for someone who has NO medical background all the way to the professional. I will never regret buying this; illustrations are detailed, extremely helpful, and there are even chapter reviews and quizzes throughout the book to make sure you've absorbed the material. You can teach yourself with this book, I'm so glad I bought this in lieu of paying a lot of money for a medical terminology class. It starts out very basic and you can work your way through at your own pace. Even comes with a CD and access to additional on-line resources. Couldn't ask for anything better.
