Medical terminology / by Beverley Henderson, CMT-R, HRT, and Jennifer L. Dorsey, PhD.
"Medical Terminology For Dummies is a resource for current and prospective healthcare professionals who need to understand medical terms, from common to complex. This book clearly explains how to quickly identify, pronounce, define, and apply medical terms in a healthcare setting. You'll also find ideas for creating mind maps and games to help you study and retain the language of medicine. Pair those study tools with an understanding of the history and origins of key prefixes, suffixes, and roots, and you'll be confident in no time. This updated guide covers the 2022 updates to ICD-10 codes, and it includes added terminology related to public health and infectious diseases. Whatever healthcare field you're in, this book will serve as your glossary of terms and a gateway to future learning opportunities."-- Amazon.com.
