Medical terminology made approachable. Learning medical terminology can feel like reading and memorizing a dictionary—overwhelming and a bit boring. The Medical Terminology Book streamlines the process by teaching readers common medical terms and how to combine prefixes, root words, and suffixes to create a practical vocabulary. The text is packed with humor, mnemonics, coloring pages, activities, puzzles, and videos to maximize fun. Readers will explore medical terms used in a clinical setting and will consider the related anatomy, common abbreviations, common diagnoses, and common tests, procedures, and treatments. Part textbook and part workbook, The Medical Terminology Book makes medical terminology accessible by incorporating tools that engage readers in active learning. Stories and images make the text entertaining, while practice opportunities help reinforce learning. Learning tools include these:Anatomical Appellations that consist of black and white anatomical images to be colored and labeledCrossword puzzles using medical term definitions as clues so readers can fill in the gridJumbled Jargon and Say What? activities that offer mixed-up medical terms or confusing patient statements for readers to translate into meaningful medical documentationBilingual Bites that teach readers basic Spanish phrases and sentences to facilitate connection with patientsIn addition to these tools, short microlearning videos that are delivered through HKPropel allow readers to hear medical terms spoken to assist with proper pronunciation. These videos give instructors the flexibility to teach an in-person, hybrid, or asynchronous course. Online related resources include flash cards, interactive learning games (Quiz Quest, word searches, and crosswords), spare SOAP notes, image labeling, audio recordings of Spanish medical terms (Bilingual Bites), and a comprehensive table of medical terms. While many medical terminology texts exist on the market, most bore and overwhelm students with terminology they will never use in the field. The Medical Terminology Book takes a different approach and focuses on allied health professions and exercise science, with special attention paid to the muscular and skeletal systems. Written by a physical therapist with contributions from athletic trainers and a medical physician, the text provides an interprofessional perspective on how medical terminology is used across disciplines. There's more to medical terminology than rote memorization. The Medical Terminology Book is the ideal companion for future allied health or exercise science professionals looking to truly understand and engage with the terms they will encounter daily in a clinical setting.
