Medical Language
Autor Susan Turleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2019
În Medical Language, observăm o schimbare de paradigmă în predarea terminologiei medicale, pornind de la scenarii clinice autentice și analize de rapoarte medicale reale. În loc să propună o simplă memorare a vocabularului, Susan Turley construiește o experiență de imersiune unde descoperim cum se utilizează limbajul în interacțiunea directă cu pacientul. Structura ediției a cincea este riguros organizată pe specialități medicale, fiecare dintre cele 15 capitole fiind segmentat clinic: de la fundamentele de anatomie și fiziologie, la patologii și, în final, la proceduri diagnostice și intervenții farmacologice.
Reținem eficiența exercițiilor de tip „Practice Laps”, care permit o evaluare constantă a progresului, și secțiunile „Career Focus” care ancorează termenii teoretici în activitatea cotidiană a profesioniștilor din sănătate. Vizual, volumul publicat de Pearson Education impresionează prin acuratețea ilustrațiilor medicale ce servesc și ca activități de etichetare, facilitând învățarea activă. Ca alternativă la Medical Terminology Complete! de Bruce Wingerd, lucrarea de față se distinge prin abordarea bazată pe imersiune profundă și volumul semnificativ mai mare de exerciții practice, fiind mai potrivită pentru cursuri intensive.
Această lucrare continuă standardul de claritate stabilit de autoare în Understanding Pharmacology for Health Professionals. Dacă în volumul dedicat farmacologiei accentul cădea pe sistematizarea interacțiunilor medicamentoase, în Medical Language Susan Turley aplică aceeași rigoare logică în descompunerea etimologică și structurală a termenilor medicali, oferind un instrument indispensabil pentru formarea unei comunicări clinice precise.

Descriere scurtă
An immersive deep-dive into medical terminology Medical Language: Immerse Yourself is grounded in immersive language-learning. Rather than memorize vocabulary, students experience the sights and sounds of health care as they listen, speak, write, examine and think. To reinforce learning, the text offers a greater quantity and variety of exercises than any other publication of its kind.
Organized by medical specialty, the 5th Edition has been regrouped into 15 chapters designed for a 16-week course. Each chapter now consists of 5 sections correlated with learning outcomes. Practice Laps at the end of each section gauge students' competency by learning outcome.

Resources and visual aids
- A glossary of medical abbreviations, acronyms and short forms reflect the most up-to-date medical terminology.
- A Career Focus section in each chapter introduces students to a healthcare practitioner who uses the medical terminology they've just read about.
New organization around learning outcomes
- REVISED: Each chapter now consists of 5 sections correlated with learning outcomes. These new sections are anatomy; physiology; diseases; laboratory, diagnostic and radiologic procedures; and medical procedures, drugs and surgical procedures.
- NEW: A new design reinforces the new chapter structure. Appealing and uncluttered, it includes an abundance of rich images and enough white space for note-taking.
Learning aids
