The Miller-Keane Encyclopedia & Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, & Allied Health is highly regarded for its accuracy, the clinical usefulness of its entries, and its multidisciplinary approach that encompasses current topics across the entire spectrum of health care. Trademark features include comprehensive encyclopedic entries, portable size, soft cover, printed thumb tabs, unique "Windows" essays, and a color A&P atlas. Organized by major terms with related terms defined as subentries, Miller-Keane's organization provides easy access to information on a variety of closely related topics in one location. Encyclopedic entries are included for significant topics, such as diseases, disorders, or conditions. These encyclopedic entries include the definition along with a concise overview of the most important information related to Symptoms, Treatment, Patient Care, Prevention, etc. Miller-Keane also includes an extensive list of appendices. Dorland's spellchecker software and a companion Evolve website supplement this edition making it a powerful tool to building and using a medical vocabulary for all health professionals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for someone willing to put in alittle extra effort
Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2013

Good medical reference if you have just a bit of medical/health care background and want to go a bit further. No its not a website and yes its a book! But that means you can trust its peer review and the board of editors even more. The field is advancing rapidly for treatments and methods, but this reference gives a good starting point as to physiology, structure, function, diseases all of which make a firm basis to begin with. I'm not a physician nor in the medical field but am in the health sciences and it is a fairly easy read with good explanation and additional citations if you want to go deeper. This edition comes with several color plates that are useful for the graphic learner in all of us.
