Abstract: A study gide for medical field workers provides a systematic approach for building a vocabulary and developing an understanding of thousands of medical terms. This approach is based on and active participation by the reader in identifying word parts, building new words, and pronouncing and practicing them. Following a description of the system, 10 study units teach the reader to form a constantly expanding medical vocabulary by using new word parts. Each study unit is divided into numbered frames; each frame provides information and asks a question, the answer to which is given at the end of each study unit. Review sheets for each unit, 2 "final" self-tests, an index of word parts learned, and a table of additional word parts are appended. (wz).
