pabound2016 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi everyone,My program will be starting in about 2.5 months. It has been a while since I have taken medical terminology. Would anyone kindly recommend any helpful medical terminology books for me to read before I start the program? I want to be able to hit the lectures without feeling too overwhelmed of any possible foreign language and utilize the time there absorbing and understanding rather than being confused over terms.Thanks!

pabound2016 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Also, if y'all have any other recommendations as to what to review over before school starts that would be great. If possible, could you also include a book that you enjoyed or found helpful reading. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocc54 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I have an extra medical terminology textbook laying around. You can have it if you want. It's graduate level medical terminology though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgers Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 A great med terms book is Exploring Medical Language by LaFleur and Brooks. Gives a nice breakdown of essential word roots, diagnostic terms, abbreviations, surgical terms, diseases, etc. for each system. It also covers words not built from word parts which is very helpful. Also gives you some practice reading mock diagnostic reports. Another book that I enjoyed reading was Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple.

LPZ Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I have Medical Terminology by Gylys. You can find PDFs online. I think it is well organized and easy to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHugh Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Medical Terms are very difficult to learn so you should choose the book carefully. Here is recommendation of 2 most famous and best medical terminology books; 1. Medical Terminology by David Anderson 2. Medical Terminology: A Living Language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
