Use a proven combination of learning principles and exercises to make learning medical terminology easier . Now in its 7th Edition, MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on the important word parts -- the common prefixes, suffixes and root words -- to provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, the chapters begin with an overview of the terminology related to the body's structures and functions, then proceed through diseases and disorders, and finally diagnostic procedures and treatments. This helps students master the necessary language to describe how the human body works, what goes wrong with it, and how we treat it. Every chapter engages learners with the See and Say pronunciation system, intreractive excersizes, real life medical scenarios and critical thinking exercises. An updated art program includes illustrations that reflect the latest terms and procedures, and multi-cultural /multi-generational photos that accurately portray today's medical world. Built-in multimedia is included with the text on the StudyWare CD-ROM.
This resource is packed full of activities that engage student with games, quizzes, animations, and an audio glossary -ultimately helping students study , prepare for exams, and achieve success . Optional workbook and online courseware is also available. Ann Ehrlich is an experienced teacher, professional author and life-long student.

About Author Ann Ehrlich
I have been a professional author for many years and it is an occupation that I thoroughly enjoy. Being one of the authors of the textbook "Medical Terminology for Health Professions" is a very special undertaking for me. By working together, and with the support of our publisher, Carol and I have established a creative synergy that has enabled us to achieve our two main goals for this book. Our primary goal is to enable students to learn medical terms as easy and effectively as possible. We do this through organizing the text by body systems, emphasizing word parts, and generously using full color illustrations. Additional aids, that accommodate varied learning styles, are included in the StudyWARE CD.
Here, through a variety of formats, and games, learning fun becomes more fun. Our second goal, which is of equal importance, is to assist instructors by providing them with quality learning aids.
- "The Instructors Manual" includes classroom activities, such as "medical mysteries," quizzes, and tips for teachers.
- Power Points presentations reinforce terms and can be used to correct textbook exercises in class.
- Animations clarify content and add interest.
- The Computerized Test Bank speeds creation by the instructor of quality tests.
- An audio CD is a valuable aid to teach students correct pronunciations of complex terms. We welcome suggestions from students and teachers as to additional ways in which the book came be made even more user friendly.
