Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - useful tool, especially during your first year
every med student needs a good dictionary and this one fit the bill for me. its too large to take with you. try tabers if you need something portable. this definitely helped me navigate first year, where it seemed like the profs were speaking a different language!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stedman's Medical Dictionary
Excellent reference material. Received in a timely manner and in excellent conditon. Thank you again!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not for medical professionals
This is a good book. It provides basic information on many topics; however, it is not a worthwhile investment for a medical student. Medical students and doctors are held to a significantly higher standard of knowledge than this book (or really any book of this sort) can offer.

For quick reference you'll do better using UpToDate or any of the numerous electronic references avalable at any good medical school / teaching hospital.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Have For Any Medical Student
This is a lifesaver of an asset for any medical student, human or vet. Highly recommend adding to any college book list!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - You can't trust a book by it's cover...
Good dictionary. However, there are better ones (particularly Tabers). I have less physically attractive medical dictionaries with no color and a boring cover that seem to have the definitions I am looking for when Stedman's doesn't. Adequate dictionary but perhaps Taber's in a better value.
