Quick Navigation

Overview

Updated to reflect real-world practice, Schroeder/Ehrlich/Schroeder Smith/Ehrlich's MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS, 9E focuses on the current, relevant terms students need to know to succeed in health care. The program simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terms by focusing on the importance of word parts -- common prefixes, suffixes and root words -- that provide the basis for most medical terms. In each chapter, learners practice the pronunciation and understanding of key terms through interactive activities, real-life medical scenarios and critical thinking exercises. The latest edition of this market leader includes expanded coverage of gender identity and gender reassignment, COVID-19, durable medical equipment, dental procedures, diabetic pathology, and more. Also available: MindTap digital learning solution.
