What teachers say
Fun way to learn!
This is a great book for review if you're just starting out in medical terminology. I wish I'd had something like this when I started in nursing over thirty years ago. The puzzles were great fun and and an easy way to learn!
Umfassender und praxisnaher Leitfaden für medizinische Terminologie
Das Buch von JH bietet eine strukturierte und leicht verständliche Einführung in die medizinische Fachsprache. Mit klar gegliederten Lektionen deckt das Workbook zentrale Themen wie Wortbildung, Anatomie, Vitalzeichen, Diagnostik und professionelle Kommunikation ab. Besonders hilfreich fand ich die vielfältigen Übungsformate – von Kreuzworträtseln über Reflexionsfragen bis hin zu hypothetischen Fallbeispielen. Dadurch gestaltet sich der Lernprozess abwechslungsreich. Mit den enthaltenen Lösungen kann man sich gut selbst kontrollieren. Ich persönlich bereite mich zwar nicht auf eine Prüfung vor, aber ich studiere gerade verschiedene medizinische Konzepte und da hat es enorm geholfen, die Konzepte der medizinischen Sprache zu verstehen.
Good intro to medical terminology
This is a well-structured introduction to medical terminology, especially for those entering the healthcare field ... like a coders, or assistant, or a scribe. The two-page overviews at the start of each section are especially useful. While the worksheets can feel lengthy, the detailed answer key in the back is helpful. Overall, pretty good for anyone new to medical vocabulary or systems.

Puzzles at the end of the chapter helped reinforce the learnings

Great mix of activities to help remember the vocabulary.

I loved how the activities mixed up word puzzles with writing tasks, which helped the terms stick in my brain. The layout is clean and not scary, even with all the complex medical words. Anyone wanting to learn medical terms should definitely grab this workbook!
