Quickly learn essential medical terminology! Both engaging and interactive, Building a Medical Vocabulary, Twelfth Edition, introduces a step-by-step approach to effective communication in the healthcare environment. This text brilliantly intersperses traditional narrative and a variety of learning exercises with a programmed approach that gives you immediate feedback. Ideal for both the classroom setting or for self-study, it provides you with the building blocks to successfully communicate with other members of the healthcare team. Games, exercises, and additional resources on the companion Evolve website help reinforce learning. Spanish language translations for anatomy, diagnostic, pathology, and therapeutic terms are included, which is very useful in today’s multilingual healthcare settings.
