Text: This comprehensive and visually appealing text covers all aspects of both the AAMA and AMT national curricula for medical assisting, including medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, and pathophysiology. The text is written in a reader-friendly style, and integrates features designed to foster a greater awareness for students of the consequences of their actions on the job, as well as to develop greater empathy for the patients experience. A recurring Ripples on the Pond analogy emphasizes this ripple, or consequences effect. Case scenarios at the beginning of chapters challenge students to put the chapter content into a real-world perspective, with follow-up questions at the end of chapters that are designed for self-reflection, homework assignments, or class discussion. An integrated package includes an interactive skills software program in the text, a student workbook with recall, application, and critical thinking exercises, a complete instructors package, and a companion website. Workbook: This excellent student workbook takes information directly from the main text, offering a balance of terminology review, content review, content application, and critical thinking exercises. It provides all the tools necessary for completing application exercises, as well as competency checklists formatted to the national accreditation standards for competency testing. Each step is weighted for easy scoring, and documentation is included as a necessary step where appropriate.
