Editorial Reviews

Review

"The text will appeal to and command the attention of students with different learning styles through the use of charts, tables, and figures as well as relevant images. The accompanying workbook is an excellent companion that provides a thorough review and practical scenarios to synthesize chapter concepts."

"I believe that we improved our curriculum by adopting the textbook. On first glance, the textbook provided our students with a gateway to information and skills that are necessary to master to be a competent Medical Assistant."

This works great on my kindle app on my MacBook. Keywords, Definitions, and Page Locations for the words are easy to find in the search box. I wish there were more options to highlight and mark-up. However, I like the feature that once something is highlighted it has the option to be used as Flash Cards!
