The sixth edition ofMedical Terminology A Word Building Approach is organized by body systems and specialty areas. Its primary approach, is the word-building technique . Combining forms and word roots are integrated into each chapter of the text, according to body system or specialty area. Suffixes and prefixes are presented in Chapters 2 and 3 and are then reinforced throughout the text. To build a medical vocabulary, all one has to do is recall the word parts that have been learned and then link them with the new component parts presented in each chapter. It is much easier to learn component parts directly associated with a body system or specialty area, and this is the key to the time-proven approach ofMedical Terminology A Word Building Approach.

Word Building--the foundation for success begins with Barbara Gylys and the Body Systems Approach. The med term approaches and how they differ... Most med terms books teach by memorization--the whole word approach. Memorize vocabulary and then try to recognize word patterns. Gylys uses the word-building approach. First learn the patterns of medical words before you learn the vocabulary. Why does word-building work? It begins with the basics... Gylys takes a common sense approach, by introducing word elements first: Roots Combining forms Suffixes Prefixes She covers them one by one, breaking down each word part. Common English word elements are presented... This familiarity makes it easier for students to learn and break apart and build words. Students can use their understanding of word parts to decipher vocabulary. Mnemonic devices, interactive activities (in the book and on the CD) make word-building fun and this in turn increases retention...no more tedious memorization, students learn by breaking down and rebuilding words! "From my years of teaching, I found it was much easier for students to learn word parts directly associated with a body system (or specialty area), and this has been the key to my approach in all of my texts and software products." --Barbara A. Gylys
For Medical Terminology or combined Anatomy & Physiology and Medical Terminology courses. In the 2nd edition full-color text-workbook, Bonnie F. Fremgen uses an integrated body systems approach and reader-friendly writing style to teach medical terminology. This approach helps students learn the all-important terms they need to know by immediately placing new words in the context of the human body. By tying the vocabulary directly in with the discussion of anatomy and physiology, beginning students can more easily understand the purpose and use of the terms they are learning and studying. Best of all, this approach stresses word building rather than memorization of terms.
