Latest Medical Terms Glossary For Health Professionals List Nine
- 1 Comment
Apart from hard copy of medical books, The AAMT Book of Style, magazines, dictionary and search engines, I have a couple of latest edition of softwares (electronic copy) on my desktop, viz., Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary, Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference, Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, Mosby’s Medical Encyclopedia and Vera Pyle’s Current Medical Terminology.
Despite all these, I may still be running for words (like a headless chicken!) and instrument names on some occasions with operative reports!
How to bring down the time spent for search by a MT? The graph of the average time spent by MTs searching for words comes down with experience, exposure and willingness to learn and sharpen skills. You grow wiser as you grow older. Keep your mind always open for learning new things, no matter what your age and experience is. Have that “I’m always open to learn new things” mentality or “still a student even at the age of 70″ mentality and you ought to perform better day by day.
Here are a few latest medical terms that you could find at New Terms Board on MT Daily too to update your information and to add to your medical glossary for this week.
