5.0 out of 5 stars Delmar's Comprehensive Medical Terminology, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Delmar's Comprehensive Medical Terminology: A Competency Based Approach (Paperback)

The format of this book makes it easy to learn prefixes, suffixes, word roots, and putting it all together to form medical words. Also included are medical terms and abbreviations. Body systems are explained so anyone can understand them. Self-tests include crossword puzzles and actually make learning fun. The college I attend uses this book and I can understand why it chose this title out of the many available.
