5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent addition to an MT course,
By Lee Rivers (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building A Medical Vocabulary: With Spanish Translations (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)
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.

The best medical terminology book that I've seen!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building A Medical Vocabulary: With Spanish Translations (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Better than my "correspondence school" tutorial!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building A Medical Vocabulary: With Spanish Translations (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)
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!)
