Comprising more than 20,000 comprehensive medical terms with definitions and translations, the Spanish-English English-Spanish Medical Dictionary is designed to serve as a global reference to physicians, nurses, students, and other healthcare professionals who increasingly serve Spanish-speaking populations.

“With the rapid growth of the U.S. Spanish-speaking population and the prevalence of Spanish-speaking people worldwide, this powerful pocket communicator is a must-have resource for healthcare students and professionals everywhere,” notes Julie Stegman, Publisher of Stedman’s. “It gives fast and easy access to thousands of medical and technology-related words, definitions and translations, tips on pronunciation, signs and symptoms of common disorders, and phrases used when speaking with patients,” she adds.

The new edition features updated content and focuses on key specialties including oncology, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and neonatology—all fields noted for new technical and procedural developments.
