Content differentiates between medical terminology--formal vocabulary used in practice--and medical language--commonly used words and phrases communicated among patients and informal settings with your peers. A special code in the front of the book gives you exclusive access to The Medical Language Lab, a new, interactive online experience that ensures you master the language of medicine.
