The Modern Medical Dictionary, Englsih-Arabic

Welcome to The Modern Medical Dictionary. I hope you find using it to be both a beneficial, and enjoyable experience. In writing it, I have kept in mind the needs of all students training for careers in the health care industry including doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, medical technicians and secretaries.

All core terms and concepts used in medicine and health professions today have been thoroughly treated.  Some of the subjects included, for example, are general medical practice, hospital administration, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, psychology, psychiatry, radiology, anatomy, physiology, surgery, medical laboratories, and various medical specializations such as endocrinology, paediatrics, urology, cardiology, nephrology, gynaecology and obstetrics, hepatology, haematology, neurology, and ophthalmology and public health medicine. Each head word is provided with an Arabic equivalent, or translation where no single term exists, based on current usage. Usage is demonstrated by real-world examples taken from a wide variety of sources.

A series of appendices have also been provided. These include abbreviations and acronyms commonly used in general medicine, imaging technologies such as MRI, oncology, pharmacy and health care. Medical organisations and personal titles are also covered. At the end of the book you will find a short Arabic to English glossary.
