The Language of Medicine program is designed to complement the textbook The Language of Medicine (Fifth Edition). The program consists of several different exercises for each chapter in the textbook. Five different types of exercises are included in this program: multiple choice, short answer, matching, graphical matching, and paragraph matching.

All exercises are presented in a tutorial format: you answer a question, and the program tells you whether you answered correctly and why your answer is correct or incorrect. You get two chances to answer a question correctly.

To further reinforce learning, the program also allows you to review completed exercises. In the Review Mode, you see every question, the correct answer, and your answers. You can also review an explanation for any answer choice.
