A better way to learn…a word-building and body systems approach! A true blend of words, art, and technology, Medical Terminology Systems and Medical Language Lab (MLL) work together to create an immersive, multimedia experience that tracks each student’s progress until they’ve mastered the language of medicine.

LEARN—Build a solid foundation with the text

Body system by body system, an innovative word-building approach covers each word one by one, introducing the word elements first—roots, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes—to enable students to easily decipher medical terminology.

Five Stars! Amazing Textbook for Medical Terms class. “I love the format that each chapter begins with a review of the body system. If you are entering the medical/healthcare field and need to take a medical terminology class this is the best book because its thorough and easy to use.”—Zora, Online Review of the 8th Edition

PRACTICE—Study smarter, not harder

Based on proven language methodology, Medical Language Lab (MLL) guides students step by step from basic through advanced levels of proficiency to become confident medical language speakers with activities and quizzes.

New! Pronunciation exercises help students practice their speaking skills with instant, detailed feedback that breaks pronunciation down to the phoneme-level. New! Review sections use the results of module tests to identify the topic areas where students need to spend more time and provide practice activities for multiple learning styles.

ASSESS—Build mastery. Attain fluency.

Students and their instructors can monitor their progress through every MLL lesson and assignment to identify the areas where they’re struggling.
