Welcome
The MedTerms Medical Dictionary is somewhat different
from the traditional medical dictionary. The MedTerms Medical Dictionary
contains a considerable and constantly changing number of classical and
contemporary medical terms. Some of the entries to these terms are longer
than regular dictionary entries and are miniature medical essays. The end
result is that this Medical Dictionary might be called an "e-
encyclopedic dictionary." We have called it simply a Dictionary to
emphasize its function as an easy-access, reliable reference.
By Doctors, For You
This Medical Dictionary was written entirely by
physicians but not just for physicians, nurses or allied health
professionals. It was designed to be of use to everyone concerned about
health -- their health and the health of those that matter to them. The
fact that the content of this dictionary is 100% doctor-produced by
MedicineNet.com ensures an unusual degree of professional expertise,
reliability, and perspective that is sensitive to the needs of those
confronting health issues.
Medicine is a field that is advancing rapidly on many
fronts and its language is continually evolving. In today's health
industry, there is constant communication between and among both consumers
and providers of healthcare. There is consequently a particular need for a
contemporary medical dictionary of high quality. In the modern day complex
healthcare environment, patients, their physicians, nurses, and allied
health professionals must be able to discuss the ever-changing aspects of
health, disease, and biotechnology. An accurate understanding of medical
terminology can assist communication and improve care for patients, as
well as help to alleviate the concerns of families and friends.
We hope that you will find this Medical Dictionary a
valuable addition to your family or office's electronic library and a
source of both information and illumination in any medical situation.
