Synopses & Reviews
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™ allows students to identify their personal learning style and target exercises and activities best suited to their learning style.

"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

and#160;andquot;This is an outstanding medical terminology textbook. It presents not only the concepts of medical terminology, it also applies these concepts to the structure and function of the human body as well as body systems. Students will find this a pleasure to read and study.andquot;

Synopsis
Lead your students to success with the name you trust! Stedman's Medical Terminology: Steps to Success in Medical Language is a mid-level medical terminology text perfect for instructors looking for minimal coverage of anatomy and physiology and plenty of hands-on exercises to reinforce learning. Each chapter alternates between term presentation and exercises to ensure that students can apply what they have learned immediately.
Throughout the text, exercises progress in a meaningful way, from recall and review, to word building, to comprehension, and finally to application and analysis through the use of "real-world" case study and medical record exercises. This approach allows the student to actively see their knowledge building and to connect what they are learning to real-life context. A robust, realistic, and relevant art program enhances the text, especially for visual learners.
A full suite of ancillaries, including videos and animations, is available for both students and instructors.
