i haven't been in school for a while and was apprehensive of how well i'd do in school again. so i went to my local college i took a couple of pre-requisite classes for medical transcriptioning. this books/system was used for the medical terminology. it was very information filled but not overwhelming. it has 100 percent retention expectation. and i have made 100's on my tests so far, one more to go. it gets a little repeative at the end but other than that, i can't complain. you learn so much without feeling stressed, compared to the other class i'm taking. i was looking to see what other books he offers on different subjects because i was so impressed with the program and thought i'd share my opinion.
I enrolled in a surgical technology program in Tulsa,Ok, and they used this. I still use Dean Vaughn today to refreshen and brush up on my terminology. I think Dean vaughn is the best out there. This avenue for learning medical terminology is fun, and entertaining. I would recommend Dean Vaughn to anyone wanting to learn medical terminology. This is a great way to learn.
Truly does help give visuals - many which are silly but still helpful. You'll probably want to start thinking of your own visuals to help learn the hundreds more medical term. words needed, but this helps give a decent foundation.
When I was required to order this for nursing school I thought it was crazy and 'bunk'.......... To my surprise, I learned every word very quickly. If there suggestions didn't work, we were learned we could figure out our own. It's so crazy that it works!!
I love this book!!!!! I really wish that the video that accompanies this workbook was also sold! It would sell like hot cakes!! Plus the delivery time was spectacular!! It arrived sooner than it was promised!!!
This is your basic medical terminology book. It won't be that exciting, but it does fulfill its purpose. HOWEVER, I cannot give it a 5 because it refers to fungi as *plants*. This book will be used by people who will be responsible for the health and life of others. The Kingdoms of Life are basic high school biology. How embarrassing.
used this book for college class, really helped me to better remember all facts, wish it had more illustrations though, I miss the only dean vaughn with the slide show of images, wish cd would have come with all images along with book
This is a good book to learn medical terms. its a unique way of teaching the elements to you but that is how u tend to remember them.
