Mosby's Medical Encyclopedia for Health Professionals

MOSBY'S MEDICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS is the first multimedia CD-ROM dictionary on the market to provide health care professionals with quick, easy computer-based access to a wealth of vital information never before available from one source. Complete definitions, all illustrations, the atlas of anatomy and physiology, all tables and all appendixes from the 1994 edition of Mosby's Medical, Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary are included. In addition, audio pronunciations, heart and lung sounds, numerous animations and short clips of full-motion video are included. With a few keystrokes, the user can quickly call up the definition of a medical term, hear it pronounced (and in some cases also listen to characteristic sounds), see a photograph, line drawing, animation, or video clip, mark it with a "bookmark" and/or add notes to the file, and jump to the definition of a related term. To maximize the useability and accessibility of this program, screens are constructed to be intuitive. A user's manual is provided as a resource if operations questions arise.

Designed for medical professionals, this CD-ROM aims to enhance users medical vocabulary by increasing their understanding of key terms and concepts. This comprehensive reference gives fast and easy access to essential medical information and features over 30,000 terms.
