I just started taking a medical terminology class last month and I was sure that learning all of these new complicated words would be extremely difficult but the Medical Terminology (A Programmed Systems Approach) 8th Edition is so easy to follow and actually fun to do. I've found myself fascinated with the idea that one word can have so many different meanings behind it. The way the book is set-up it has sort of an elementary school appeal to it because you work in it frame by frame and instead of skipping from one term to the next the book is constantly re-introducing you to terms that you've learned in previous units and intermingling them with the new ones.The only disappointment in this book was that the paperback version did not include the terminology tapes that accompany the hardcover version, but other that that this book is a good investment if you plan to go into the medical field or if you just want to learn for your own personal knowledge.
The book is good and can be used to self-teach, but the CD-ROM does not work on a Mac OS-X; apparently it is a Windows-only application.This is a pet peeve of mine and accounts for my low-rating. There was no indication before I bought it that the accompanying software would not work on my Mac
Before I purchased the Kindle version I checked with to see if I would receive access to the additional content that is on the CD-Rom. I was assured multiple times by different people that I would receive an email containing an access code to a website for the additional content. That is not true. You will have to purchase the physical CD-Rom from the publisher for over a hundred bucks. The text is great though. It makes learning new terminology quite easy.
This book starts out simple and builds on itself as you progress. It covers a broad range of med terms, with about 30 pages in each chapter and a good end of chapter review with different types of quizzes. The CD is also by chapter and has games to test you and also an area you can listen to the vocab words for pronunciation. My "plastic comb" version (not the spiral bound for more $) is falling apart after 2 semseters of use though.
I love this book. I love the break down of the words. I love the way it leads me step by step through suffix, prefix, root word, combing form, etc. The end of unit practice, games, matching, puzzles, CD and flash cards are very helpful. The repetition required, the charts, case studies, the labeling is all also very helpful.
This book is great for studying medical terminology. It presents everything to you and you only need to follow along to learn. The terms are presented both in categories (psychology, neurology, etc) as well as introducing you to similar sounding terms at the same time so you learn the distinction, and you learn prefixes and suffixes together and their Greek and Latin meanings.There are some minor editing issues in the text and especially in the Appendices which give you the answers to the study questions.They don't really interefere with your learning but are slightly confusing at times.Mine was plastic comb binding, which makes it possible to take the book apart and just take the chapter I am working on to work with me to study on lunch or while waiting for my ride at the end of the day.The CD rom is useful to do my pre exam revicew!Overall the layout of the book is excellent for usability.
What can I say? It's a text book. I bought is used in good condition. It had wear and tear and writing in it. But the disc was intact and downloaded fine. It saved me money buying it used and I don't mind the wear and tear. The information is easy to read and what I need for the course I am taking.
This is a beautifully designed books that makes you think, "am I really learning these words? I mean who doesn't know what oophorocele is?" " oh wait, maybe that's because I've filled out the definition for this word ten times.This books really helps you learn your medical terminology in a fun and easy manor.
