Medical Terminology: Get Connected! is a fun, engaging introduction to medical terminology essentials. It will help you make connections, whether you’re building medical terms, understanding body systems or forging professional relationships.

The text uniquely presents terms by medical specialty, rather than organ systems, giving it practical use across areas of specialized medicine. Its blend of instruction and activity makes it flexible enough to support both lectures and independent study.

The fully updated 4th Edition adds many new medical terms, word parts and pronunciations. Revised learning objectives reflect higher-order skills and applications to real-world situations.
