Medical Terminology: A Short Course

This learning companion is built to help students master the vocabulary of medicine. It combines narrated animations, audio review, games and a range of practice exercises, including word-building, spelling, pronunciation, matching and case studies. Each section ends with a short quiz to check progress. A large glossary gives definitions and pronunciations in English and Spanish, and illustrations of anatomy and disease help learners connect terms to the clinical setting, so they can apply them in real healthcare situations.
