Title overview

Medical Language: Immerse Yourself offers an immersive exploration of medical terminology. Instead of memorizing vocabulary, you'll experience the sights and sounds of healthcare.

The exercises will challenge you to listen, speak, spell, examine, think, compare and contrast, build and define, and make connections and conclusions. To reflect real-world medical practice, the text is organized by medical specialty rather than body systems. It also offers a greater quantity and variety of exercises than other medical terminology titles.

The 6th Edition introduces chapters on psychiatry, oncology, and radiology and nuclear medicine. It includes a new, in-depth feature, Beneath the Surface, which dives deeper into selected medical advances and events.
