Thoroughly revised and updated, Schroeder/Ehrlich/Schroeder Smith/Ehrlich's MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONS, 9E simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on key word parts -- common prefixes, suffixes and root words -- that provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, chapters follow a logical flow of information: an overview of the body system's structure and functions, a summary of applicable medical specialties, and ultimately pathology, diagnostic and treatment procedures. The new edition includes expanded coverage of complementary and alternative therapies, sexual orientation and gender identity, COVID-19, advanced directives, nondurable medical equipment, dental procedures, diabetic pathology and nutrition support.
