Medical Terminology by Barbara Janson Cohen Ba Msed
Now in its Sixth Edition, Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide is geared to the mid-level medical terminology course, and includes moderate amounts of anatomy and physiology. The author uses a stepwise approach to learning medical terminology. Part 1 describes how medical terms are built from word parts; Part 2 introduces body structures, diseases, and treatments; and Part 3 describes each body system. Individual chapters also build on knowledge in stages, with Key Terms sections listing those terms most commonly used and later Supplementary Terms sections presenting more specialized terms. This edition has a more reader-friendly design, provides more complete representation of the health professions, and includes dental terminology. Written pronunciations are included for all appropriate terms. A robust online ancillary package aids retention through exercises, games, and activities. PASSport to Success(t) allows students to identify their personal learning style and target exercises and activities best suited to their learning style.

JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College, JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College -- I really love how many exercises the students are given to practice their medical terminology skills! I would give Cohen an A for overall thoroughness-JL, faculty, Virginia Highlands Community College Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College, Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College -- I loved the idea of the pretests. This gives the student a 'heads up' toward the learning process and main elements of the chapter. I loved the detail of the explanations for the 'focus on words' segment. This goes far beyond just giving examples. The writing style was clear and easy to understand. I would recommend it.-Jackie Waire, faculty, Hinds Community College Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College, Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College -- I love the layout of the chapters, looks like it flows great from one section to the next. It is an AWESOME BOOK! I feel the author did a great job. If the level of our students is not as high then this book will bring them up to higher level. I think this is what we are needing, bringing students to a higher level of learning. Each chapter was well written, each section seems crystal clear to me.-Cyndi Fegguson, faculty, Texas State Technical College
