Combining the Time-Tested A &amp; P Approach with a New Contextual Approach, MEDICAL LANGUAGE FOR MODERN HEALTH CARE Promotes Active Learning Chapters in the textbook are organized by body system in accordance with an overall anatomy and physiology (A &amp; P) approach. Lessons introduce and define terminology through the context of A &amp; P, pathology, and clinical and diagnostic procedures/tests.

Students actually step into the role of an allied health professional associated with each specialty. Patient cases and documentation are used to illustrate the real-life application of medical terminology in modern health care: to care for and communicating with patients, and to interact with other members of the health care team. The A &amp; P organizational approach, used in conjunction an authentic medical setting and patient cases, encourages student motivation and facilitates active, engaged learning. Each chapter is structured around a consistent and unique framework of pedagogic devices. No matter what the subject matter of a chapter, the structure enables students to develop a consistent learning strategy, making Medical Language for Modern Health Care a superior learning tool.
