As a provider of Medical Transcriptionist training, I wouldn't suggest people try to replace a comprehensive course with this book. But anyone would profit by adding it to their course materials. It is particularly strong in supporting retention, which is a rare quality in textbooks.

I read this book cover-to-cover during a Medical Transcription certificate program and was really impressed with the format. The order in which the terms are presented and the fill-in-the-blank sections are excellent for testing and retesting yourself. The answers to the tests are in the back of the book so that you can be sure you answered the questions correctly. I have seen other medical terminology books on the market, but none compare to this one for ease of learning!

Wow! I wish I had found this before I blew two weeks salary on a medical transcription course. This book covered more ground than the manuals that I received, and for a fraction of the cost. Without this book I don't think I would ever have picked up the terminology - and I would have missed out on such a great career! (2 years and going strong!)

I am an instructor for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) Professional Medical Coding Curriculum (PMCC) and often recommend this book as a way for a student to be fully prepared to take our course.

I love the CD ROM with the excercises (that's the instructor in me :) as well as the fact that there are pronunciations. This is truly a "self study" course and I highly recommend it.

If you are looking for a comprehensive medical term. book including spanish please do not choose this one. There is a word bank at the end of each chapter with spanish translations and that is the extent. The cd-rom does not include spanish in any of the vocab review to make sure your saying it correctly and spanish is not incorporated into any exercises in the book. Not sufficient enough for me but overall as a medical term book was very good.

This is a straight forward approach to medical terminology, found it very useful nd highly recommend it for people looking into medical field.

This is a very good book. A great way to learn medical terminology. It is is a good review as well for the anatomy behind the human body. I went through it, but need to go through it in a little bit to review. Good book.

The book was brand new and I received it within two days after ordering it. I really recommend this book. its easy to read and learn from.

Seriously, this is a great book! It breaks the material down into small sections, letting you quiz yourself often and check your answers immediately. There are short exercises throughout the chapters, which are actually kind of fun to do and really aid in learning. Answers to the chapter review exercises are in the back of the book, so you can check your progress yourself before moving on to the next chapter. In addition, the CD-Rom that's included has practice exercises and testing exercises that let you work with the material.

the book is in good condition,but it has some pencil writings in it. Other than that the book is like new.
