Customer Reviews

Wonderful for Medical Terminology I, II, and Health Unit Coordination classes!

I purchased this handy little pocket guide as a reference to my text two semesters ago. I am happier with this pocket guide than the text it supports. I have used this for three college course, and am still using it for my volunteer position in a SICU. I recommend this handy little guide for students in medical terminology classes or in the health information field. It serves as a quick reference and study guide.

WONDERFUL REFERENCE FOR STUDENTS!

Great book to have handy

I am a student studying to be a medical assistant and this book is wonderful. It is small enough you can carry it to every class with you and will be helpful when you join the workforce. It has alot of information like abbreviations, acronyms for healthcare organizations and much, much more. I like the price as well. Medical books are usually very [costly] but this is exactly what I was looking for at a great price. I would highly recommend this book for anyone.
