Medical Dictionary

Hello, Im coming in from the Pharmacy Thread. I just had a quick question regarding what the "best", or most recommended medical dictionary available. I am currently in my first year PharmD, and would like to have one to reference. Thanks.

I don't think it matters that much. Just pick one that's reasonably priced. Taber's is good. They're all the same.

Taber's is the one I was going to get. I figured they were pretty much all the same, just thought I'd ask, thanks for the suggestion!

Any of them would work well. I like the large dictionaries that have famous physicians in history listed as well. Not clinically useful but good to have when you are preparing powerpoints or presentations.

my favorite is Stedman's

I bought my stedman's concise medical dictionary 👍 in undergrad for a medical terminology class. I have used it more than I used my "required" textbooks for the first two years and still use it for reference in third. A very good dictionary

Dorland's is good too
