Medical Terminology (High School Edition)

Students begin their journey into medical terminology and anatomy and physiology here.
Introduce your students to the fascinating world of medical terminology, their portal to the inner workings of the human body and the processes that explain how the body works and what doesn’t work when we’re ill.

Students will progress step by step from recognizing prefixes, suffixes, and root words to speaking and writing with confidence. Along the way, they’ll learn the anatomy and physiology that medical terms represent and explore case studies that show them how terminology is used in the real world of medicine. As they translate examination notes and laboratory reports into language patients can understand, students also explore the many career opportunities that are available to them. Whatever your students' learning style—looking, listening, doing, or a little bit of each—Medical Terminology: A Multiple Learning Styles Approach is designed just for them.
