Programmed Learning Approach to Medical Terminology, 3rd Edition is ideal for self-paced study, classroom use, or distance learning. Reflecting current medical usage, the book facilitates study by including questions on the right side of each page and answers on the left.

This edition features a more concise presentation, new content, exercises in the book and online, and a robust array of online teaching and learning resources.
