Take a fresh, modern approach to mastering medical terminology This brand-new text combines comprehensive coverage and evolving case studies with Medical Language Lab (MLL) to create an immersive, multimedia experience that tracks each student's progress until they've mastered the language of medicine. In person, online or hybrid, this is the complete solution that meets the needs of both students and instructors. An access code inside new, printed textbooks unlocks an ebook, as well as access to MLL. Learn-Build a solid foundation with the text Students begin by learning the elements of words-roots, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes. Then, body system by body system, they journey through anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, case studies, medical records, and exercises to master the language they'll use throughout their education and their careers. Information is presented in small chunks and then immediately reinforced with practice activities, allowing students to master concepts before they move to more advanced material. Context and application are reinforced through case studies threaded throughout every body systems chapter, allowing students to connect all of the points of instruction with their clinical context. Practice-Study smarter, not harder Based on proven language methodology, Medical Language Lab (MLL) 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.
