The spiral bound book form of "The Medical Terminology for Health Professions" is an important educational study guide for all medical fields. It is filled with a lot of medical terminology terms, medical abbreviations, eponyms, and includes the study of anatomy and physiology. This book is useful if you are searching in a career of becoming a doctor, nurse, medical transcriptionist,or just curious about how medical words are used in the field of health. It informs you step-by-step of how to pronounce medical prefixes, combining words,and suffixes. This is an excellent study book. I recommend that every one buy
this medical terminology book. You will not regret buying this book.

I just received this book and I think its awesome...since I am taking a medical coding course this book is very well thought out and organized..

I love the layout of this book. It makes it easy to memorize new terms and to locate information. There are very useful vocabulary lists at the beginning of each chapter. The learning exercises at the end of each chapter easily help you pinpoint areas that need further study. However, the CD has errors. In the first 2 chapters, I have already found 3. For example, I typed in "histologist" as an answer to one of the questions and it said I was incorrect; that the correct answer was histologist! Then it incorrectly matched the pairs "poster/o" and "in front of, before", which is also incorrect. If you study the material throroughly you will be able to recognize these errors. At first I was also disappointed to find there is no answer key to each of the tests at the end of the chapters, but as is turns out, it just causes me to look for the answers to check myself, which just serves to reinforce the learning process, so I see it as a positive now! I'm still glad I got this book and would recommend it for others.
