Master medical terminology with every turn of the page!

Essentials of Medical Language, 2e, presents new medical terminology to students in manageable quantities via short lessons and a 2-page spread format.

This edition offers a completely redesigned learning experience through larger, more focused art and revised table of contents. Students will feel a new sense of engagement and motivation through Case Reports and a wide variety of exercises throughout the chapters.

As a final improvement to this textbook, professors will discover a total revamp from top to bottom, providing them with text that is shorter and stronger, larger imaging, better chapter sequence, updated learning objectives, and more questions and exercises for students to practice.
