For courses in medical terminology. An immersive deep-dive into medical terminology Medical Language: Immerse Yourself is grounded in immersive language-learning. Rather than memorize vocabulary, students experience the sights and sounds of health care as they listen, speak, write, examine and think. To reinforce learning, the text offers a greater quantity and variety of exercises than any other publication of its kind. Organized by medical specialty, the 5th Edition has been regrouped into 15 chapters designed for a 16-week course. Each chapter now consists of 5 sections correlated with learning outcomes. Practice Laps at the end of each section gauge students' competency by learning outcome. Hallmark features of this title Hands-on practice * Chapter review exercises offer practical insight into real healthcare tasks. Exercises include analysis of real medical reports, as well as role-play activities prompting students to describe a patient's condition using medical language. * Word-building exercises throughout chapters help students divide and build medical words, form plurals and adjectives of medical nouns, and distinguish between the meanings of soundalike terms. Resources and visual aids * A glossary of medical abbreviations, acronyms and short forms reflect the most up-to-date medical terminology. * A Career Focus section in each chapter introduces students to a healthcare practitioner who uses the medical terminology they've just read about. New and updated features of this title New organization around learning outcomes * REVISED: Each chapter now consists of 5 sections correlated with learning outcomes. These new sections are anatomy; physiology; diseases; laboratory, diagnostic and radiologic procedures; and medical procedures, drugs and surgical procedures. * NEW: A new design reinforces the new chapter structure. Appealing and uncluttered, it includes an abundance of rich images and enough white space for note-taking. Learning aids * NEW: Practice Laps gauge students' mastery of the content they've just read before they move on to the next learning outcome. * UPDATED: An abundance of medically accurate illustrations and photographs picture real patients and real health professionals in real healthcare settings. These images double as labeling activities. Revisions for clarity * REVISED: A reorganized Appendix A now combines all word parts and their meanings in alphabetical order to ease searches. Types of words parts (combining form, prefix or suffix) are distinguished by color-shading of rows. * REVISED: Enhancements to all the text and illustrations of the anatomy and physiology sections ease understanding of complex structures and functions.
