Publisher's Synopsis
A combination text and workbook, Medical Terminology: A Self-Learning Text uses word roots to build term definitions. A high exercise to test ratiogives ample opportunity for students to check their comprehension and facilitates self-study or guided-study courses. By emphasizing anatomic terms, using an organ-systemapproach, and by assuming no prior knowledge, Birmingham is broad-based enough to apply to all allied health fields. Thus it is truly an essentials text.
