Medical Terminology

Medical Terminology: Get Connected!, 3rd Edition, is an introductory essentials textbook that organizes healthcare vocabulary around medical specialties rather than separate organ systems. This structure helps students learn foundational terms in practical clinical contexts.

Intended for short courses, such as one-hour instructional offerings, the volume includes updated practice exercises to support student study. Content highlights the everyday responsibilities of healthcare practitioners who rely on medical terms in their daily work.
