Medical Terminology Complete! takes a programmed approach to teaching the language of medicine. With this approach, you’ll read a little, fill in blanks and then check your answers. Along the way, self-assessment questions and reinforcement exercises will help you make connections to clinical applications. The content is organized by body system, placing medical terms in the context of A&P and medical specialties.

In the 5th Edition, content in all chapters has shifted from a biological perspective to a more clinical one, improving clinical training for entry into a full range of healthcare careers. Added exercises and medically accurate visuals round out a comprehensive medical terminology curriculum.
