Quick Navigation

Overview

Ann Ehrlich

The late Ann Ehrlich, who founded this series in 1988, was an experienced teacher, professional author and lifelong student. Considered one of the leading experts in the field of medical terminology, she wrote numerous books on health topics such as dental assisting, practice management, speech therapy and lymphedema.

Carol L. Schroeder

Carol L. Schroeder has 20 years of experience in finding innovative ways to present medical terminology at a level appropriate for students. Her background in technical writing, translating and research is invaluable in continuously updating content and creating innovative activities and approaches--such as the Medical Mysteries and Human Touch stories featured in this text--to enable instructors to present engaging course material that helps all students succeed.
  • Features over 200 new pieces of art professionally created to reflect the latest terms and procedures, as well as new multi-cultural and multi-generational photographs that accurately portray today's medical world.
  • Includes a new section on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, reflecting the changing role of holistic health care in our society.
  • Includes the StudyWare CD-Rom that is both PC and Mac compatible and all the vocabulary list words and their definitions have been newly recorded by a health care professional.
  • Includes the Simplified Syllabus, an alternative approach that allows you to focus on the 60 terms and 15 word parts presented at the beginning of each chapter when your students do not need to learn the full range of primary terms in the text, and also includes additional tools that support you if you want to teach this simplified syllabus.
  • Accompanying StudyWARETM CD-ROM offers your students additional practice, assessment and feedback through interactive quizzes and fun activities that correlate with each chapter in the book.
  • Includes a Sounds-Like Pronunciation System that is a proven method of pronunciation that simplifies saying the terms correctly, a Study Break which is a brief and amusing pause before your students go on to review important information in the chapter and Human Touch: Critical Thinking Exercise Scenarios that involve patients and pathology that applies chapter material to the real world.
  • Includes Word Parts Emphasized where word parts are highlighted in color and defined whenever a term made up of word parts is introduced, with the definition following in parentheses.
  • Includes Career Opportunities that stimulate your students' consideration of career ideas related to chapter content.
