This book was required for an online college course I was taking. The book is
layed out in a nice format and is easy to follow. The CD that comes with the
book is quite helpful when preparing for exams and quizzes.

I am an instructor for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC)
Professional Medical Coding Curriculum (PMCC) and often recommend this book as a
way for a student to be fully prepared to take our course.
I love the CD ROM with the excercises (that's the instructor in me :) as well as
the fact that there are pronunciations. This is truly a "self study" course and
I highly recommend it.

As a provider of Medical Transcriptionist training, I wouldn't suggest people
try to replace a comprehensive course with this book. But anyone would profit by
adding it to their course materials. It is particularly strong in supporting
retention, which is a rare quality in textbooks.

Wow! I wish I had found this before I blew two weeks salary on a medical
transcription course. This book covered more ground than the manuals that I
received, and for a fraction of the cost. Without this book I don't think I
would ever have picked up the terminology - and I would have missed out on such
a great career! (2 years and going strong!)

I read this book cover-to-cover during a Medical Transcription certificate
program and was really impressed with the format. The order in which the terms
are presented and the fill-in-the-blank sections are excellent for testing and
retesting yourself. The answers to the tests are in the back of the book so that
you can be sure you answered the questions correctly. I have seen other medical
terminology books on the market, but none compare to this one for ease of
learning!
