Drug enuciation apps?

[bluedove1]

Any suggestions of a good drug app on how to correctly pronounce different difficult drug names?

Just the fact that you know how to spell enunciate impresses me. (I'm a word nerd, and many people have no idea how to spell that!) I too would be interested to know of any site/app/program that teaches proper enunciation of medical terminolgy and drugs/diseases! Good question!!! I'm not looking forward to sounding like a moron to the nurses when I start my clinicals this coming semester!

Slight difference: You're asking about how to pronounce the words, as opposed to mumbling them. :) Alas, it's something you just have to pick up...Is it a) MET-oh-PRO-lol, or b) met-OH-pro-lol, or c) met-oh-PRO-lol? (answer: b, same for all the -olols). You can also look up the drugs online and some drug reference sites give the pronunciation for lay people.

You can look up general medical terms, etc., on any online medical dictionary.

Enunciation = precision in diction, to articulate or pronounce (words), esp clearly and distinctly

Pronunciation= the act or result of producing the sounds of speech, including articulation, stress, and intonation, often with reference to some standard of correctness or acceptability: They are arguing about the pronunciation of "forte" again. His pronunciation retains charming traces of his early years in Ireland.
