Re: medical dictionary

I like Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary the best.

Re: medical dictionary

Taber's is the Benchmark, should be on your school's required book list.

Taber's is supposed to be great...we had Mosby's on our list of required books the first semester, so I've been using that and am happy enough with it.

I've got Mosby's too and it's not bad.

Re: medical dictionary

I have Taber's on my PDA, and Miller-Keane in book form (it's a combination encylopedia/dictionary). They are both fine. I really like the Miller Keane for at home... the explanations are a bit more complex than a simple dictionary, but not as lengthy as my text books.
