About the Book

Essential Skills for Health Career Success strengthens the basic academic skills--such as reading, writing, science, and math--that students need for a successful career in healthcare. Used for a stand-alone course or as a supplement, this text is ideal for students who need a basic skills boot camp and for students enrolled in bridge courses. In addition to basic skill development, the text provides an overview to the healthcare industry; critical safety and infection control procedures; and legal and ethical considerations. Students are also introduced to basic medical terminology and the body systems that they will study in more detailed A&P courses at a later date. As an added plus, chapters on study skills and employability skills increase students' likelihood for success in the classroom and in the workplace.

  • Real-life scenarios form the basis of practice problems that enhance student math, writing, and reading skills.
  • Self-assessment opportunities allow students to gauge their skill level to determine which skills need further practice.
  • Companion and mobile websites provide a variety of interactive activities to supplement the text and allow students to study on the go.
