Quickly remember the medical and common word parts used to build and create thousands of the terms in a medical dictionary. There's no reason in this book to spend the time studying Latin or Greek word roots but see how often we already know an English word that shares a word part with a medical term that our long-term memory will recall better using word associations. Then, for more long-term memory help, we step way outside the scholastic box and use simple memory techniques that will let anyone with an active imagination remember hundreds of word part meanings years from now. This is a fun and unconventional way to an excellent medical vocabulary any high school or college health science student will enjoy using and remembering for probably the rest of their life.
