Often, the times a person needs quick answers to medical questions they are not near a desktop computer or printed medical encyclopedia.

The MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia enables anyone with a Blackberry handheld to carry vast amounts of information in their pocket or purse. The information found in the Encyclopedia includes not only standard medical terms but also pertinent scientific items, abbreviations, acronyms, jargon, institutions, projects, symptoms, syndromes, eponyms, and medical history.

The MedicineNet doctors are proud to have authored the Webster's New World Medical Dictionary First and Second Editions published by Wiley Publishing, Inc.
