Customer Reviews

Great book for people who want to learn medical terminology quickly!

I looked at a number of medical terminology books at the library before deciding to purchase Quick Medical Terminology: A Self-Teaching Guide, 4th edition. This book truly is great for people who need to learn medical terminology quickly. It also teaches a little about body systems. The author keeps the book interesting and makes learning medical terminology fun.

Wonderful help!

Being new to the field of medical transcription, this book did a great job of exposing me to how words are constructed. It breaks them down and helped me to learn the impressive vocabulary that's required. It's been a wonderful asset!!

Great Vocab Foundation for Med School

A nurse I worked with recommended this book to me and told me it would give me a great foundation for the world of medical jargon. It was very helpful and well-designed programmed learning that really gave me a head start in med school.

Quick Medical Terminology

Before starting a class at the local technical college, I used this book as a guide to find out if I could go back to school after 30 years. It was great - easy to understand and much better than the textbook we use in class. Highly recommended.

This is a great book for learning basic terminology. It helps you to be able to break words down and understand them. Lots of opportunity for review. This book was very helpful to me.
