MyLab Medical Terminology with Pearson eText Access Code for Medical Language

DIGITAL UPDATE available for Fall 2022 classes

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.
