medical dictionary
Healthcare terminology reference
A medical dictionary is a reference work defining terms used in medicine and healthcare—diseases, anatomical structures, procedures, drugs, and clinical terminology.
General dictionaries cover everyday vocabulary; medical dictionaries serve physicians, nurses, students, and patients navigating specialized language: I looked up "dyspnea" in a medical dictionary.
