Does anyone recommend a specific Medical Dictionary for PT School/ when one is a practicing PT? (For instance, Taber's, Mosby's, Stedman's)
 
A therapist I work with gave me her old Tabers medical dictionary and I love it! It has an anatomy section as well with great pictures. Any medical dictionary would be helpful I'm sure!
 
I've never used it for school per se, but I refer to Taber's often in my acute care setting clinicals. A little pocket size version of some dictionary may not be a bad idea if you're placed in acute either.
