Medical Language: Immerse Yourself

Making a Splash The breadth is excellent, and this book includes innovative teaching tools not available in other texts. -Ann Minks, Lake Washington Technical College The writing style is great. It is light, easy to read and understand. -Karin Sherrill, Mesa Community College I LOVE integrating the word building into each chapter. I think it will make the word building much more relevant to students. -Tricia Berry, Hamilton College I have students ranging in age from 18 to 50s. It would be hard to find a writing style to fit them all, but I feel this book would do the job. -Judy Anderson, Coastal Carolina Community College The illustrations and photos are awesome. -Cynthia Thompson, Alamance Community College The author takes the medical terminology textbook up another level. -James Hudacek, Lorain County Community College It is geared to the whole person rather than just a clinical approach to anatomy and physiology. It's the "rest of the story" that adds the interest and gives depth. -Juanita R. Bryant, Cabrillo College and Sierra College Excellent book. -Paula Hagstrom, Ferris State University The wide diversity of subjects in the photos, and the excellent diversity of artwork was way beyond my expectations. Most books do not use enough visuals to break up the written word, but I think this text is generous in the use of color and visuals. -Susan Buboltz, Madison Area Technical College Exactly what we were looking for. -Ruth Ann O'Brien, Miami Jacobs Career College Love this text!...it is easier to read than standard medical terminology texts...The illustrations are REAL and varied ...There are too many great features to list. -Shannon Bruley, Henry Ford Community College The qualityand quantity of illustrations are OUTSTANDING!!! -Ralph Michael Cochran, Southwest Virginia Community College Undoubtedly, this IS one of the BEST medical terminology books I have seen. It goes beyond the scope and concept of any other medical terminology book I have seen in 10 years. -Cathy Kelley-Arney, National College ofBusiness & Technology You truly have taken into account what is important to the learner in today's society. -Jody Scheller, Schoolcraft College

Finally, a medical terminology book that truly immerses readers within the language of medicine, so that students can apply their vocabulary within a real-world context. As opposed to fostering rote memorization, this book engages students in an interactive learning experience that will give them a vital tool and inspire them to become true consumers of medical language. The goal is to connect with readers, to engage their visual auditory and kinesthetic senses, to stimulate them, and fuel their complete understanding of the topic. As students engage in this multi-sensory experience within these pages, they should remember that we are not encouraging them to merely "discover," "learn," "know," or even "understand," the information. Instead we want readers to "live it" We want them to dig in, dive in, and become immersed
