Helpful Information

This textbook provides the future health career student with basic entry-level knowledge required for their chosen profession. It contains twenty-two units ranging from Anatomy and Physiology to Business and Accounting Skills. These units are divided into two parts: Basic Health Care Concepts and Skills, and Special Health Care Skills. Each unit provides objectives and key terms that will be learned from that unit. Each section or chapter is well written with valuable information and helpful procedure hints. This book also contains a glossary to help with confusing terms, appendices including extra helpful information, and an index and table of contents for convenient reading. I highly recommend this particular textbook, I feel it is very informative and helpful towards my future career as a neurosurgeon.

Absolutely essential for introductory students in health occ

I have used this book since the first edition and wanted to kick myself when it came out for not publishing my curriculum and lesson plans at the time. Health Occupations was a new vocational course and most of us had to write our own material. When Louise Simmers published DHO, we all knew instantly that she had the best resource on the market. It stands up over time and each new edition keeps my students current and relevent in the changing world of health care. I've reviewed many texts over the past twenty years of teaching and have found none to surpass this text for student friendly use.
