"...a textbook and workbook for medical terminology classes,... mostly composed of word lists and exercises to help students memorize or interpret them. It also comes with a code for a set of complementary online exercises.... The purpose of this book is to help students learn and use medical terminology.... The book supports students by providing a diverse array of exercises to help them memorize and use medical terms.... primary audience is students in medical terminology courses, and it is well designed to meet their needs.... This is a well-formatted textbook for medical terminology students. It covers substantially the same material as other medical terminology textbooks but with more exercises and types of exercises and less text than most.... I recommend this book to instructors who want to assign something more like a workbook than a textbook and to academic and health sciences librarians whose faculty use it."
