Features: Medical professionals must be proficient in applying medical English, whether it is from reading (smoothly reviewing medical literature), listening (listening to academic presentations by foreign experts, personal interactions with foreign experts), speaking (personal communication with foreign experts), or writing (writing medical papers and abstracts). Vocabulary is the foundation, and medical terminology is a crucial part of it. If medical terminology is scarce, the aforementioned language application and communication processes will be extremely challenging. Therefore, systematic learning and solid mastery of medical terminology have become a highly valued aspect for medical professionals to improve their English. The content of this book includes: the pronunciation of English medical terminology, the morphology of English medical terminology, Latin words in English medical terminology, cognates in English medical terminology, and the phenomenon of root alternation in English medical terminology.
