About this title

Synopsis

A better way to learn…a word-building and body systems approach!

A true blend of words, art, and technology, Medical Terminology Systems and Medical Language Lab (MLL) work together to create an immersive, multimedia experience that tracks each student’s progress until they’ve mastered the language of medicine. An access code inside new, printed textbooks unlocks an eBook, as well as access to MLL. 

• LEARN—Build a solid foundation with the text.

Body system by body system, an innovative word-building approach covers each word one by one, introducing the word elements first - roots, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes - to enable students to easily decipher medical terminology. Mnemonic devices and engaging, interactive exercises make word-building fun and easy, ensuring students retain the information they need for success. 

• PRACTICE—Study smarter, not harder.

Based on proven language methodology, Medical Language Lab guides students step by step from basic through advanced levels of proficiency to become confident medical language speakers. Students review what they’ve learned from the text and in class through activities and quizzes.

• ASSESS—Build mastery. Attain fluency.

Students and their instructors can monitor their progress through every MLL lesson and assignment to identify the areas where they’re struggling. A Review section provides additional activities for remediation. The Student Lesson Gradebook identifies which lessons have been completed (or not completed) and the grade earned, while the Student Activity Gradebook details how each student performed on specific assignments and how long they took to complete each.
