Unlocking Medical Terminology serves as a key to discovering a new language, in a fun, eye-catching, yet scientifically precise way. This easy to navigate book is designed to be used as a text to support lectures, or as an independent workbook. To help readers learn the meanings, correct spelling, pronunciation, and other factors of each medical term, the book contains numerous exercises, tips, and colorful figures for learning and practicing. The flexibility of its application is made possible by the book's text-like format combined with its self-guided, exercise-driven learning program. Wingerd uses a stair-step approach that mirrors the way that many people learn. Instead of assuming you will absorb volumes of information in one step, this book presents topics in smaller pieces. Self-quizzes give you the opportunity to master the information before you build upon it in the next section. This approach allows you to work at your own pace and ensures success. Some new features include:
New Art Program with a very visual presentation of Anatomy and Physiology.
Case Studies and Medical Reports have been added to give students real world context.
More exercises throughout to help students refine word building skills.
New See & Say approach to pronunciation, helping students say the medical terms correctly.

The program I'm aiming toward requires a 3-credit med terminology course, so I started reading Unlocking Medical Terminology early, before classes launch in a few weeks. So far I have worked through more than half of UTM(2e). My background includes (among other things) an earlier 1-credit medical terminology course, a 5-credit A&P class, and (lapsed) certification as a surgical tech.
The reason I give this text any stars at all is because it introduces some diseases/disorders and terms not covered in an A&P class focusing on normal anatomy/physiology. So there have been some "Hmm, interesting!" moments.
That said, the book is frustrating because of the errors and carelessness. A handful of mistakes are understandable and acceptable in any textbook, but UMT contains more than just a few. Definitions are questionable frequently enough that when meeting an unfamiliar term, my response has become to check an A&P textbook and/or medical dictionary - I have stopped trusting this text. Example - UMT defines rabies as bacterial (the definition states it *twice*, as though once wasn't bad enough...). Hemochromatosis is presented as an "inherited disorder" in UMT, but my (multiple) sources say it can be acquired or inherited. The anatomy of the pericardium is totally hosed -- both the narrative and the definitions pertaining to it.
The definitions, even when essentially correct, often miss the mark, feel "dumbed down", or focus on something not essential to the term in question. Here's an example - Poikilocytosis, according to UMT, is "large, irregularly shaped red blood cells". My sources agree this is a condition defined by irregularly shaped red blood cells, but "large" seems irrelevant, possibly wrong.
