Critics Review

”…introduce[s] students to a variety of medical in terms in a format that better permits active learning and retention. This purpose is crucial as all veterinarians and veterinary technicians must understand how to search for information with the correct prompts and communicate professionally with owners and other colleagues…. The first chapter is a useful review of basic building-block terms used in medicine and should be read first by all students… As early-career students become more comfortable with the language used in this book, then they might have the foundational tools to read and understand these contemporary terms in more detailed… This book can be recommended to the early career student for exposure to common scientific and layman’s terms used in veterinary medical communication.” Review by Rosanne Peters, DVM, CVA, DACVIM (Neurology)(University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine), ©Doody’s Review Service, 2026.
