Minim listing of Med Abbreviations This is a relatively good listing of abbreviations specific to medicine. However, there tend to be more omissions than you would expect for a paid app. The database is severly lacking depending on the specialty such as Ob/Gyn. My biggest gripe is that you can't add your own abbreviations. This seems pretty intuitive for a paid app given some people make up their own abbreviations. This has to be in the next update, don't buy this app until that feature is added or else you'll be regreting the purchase.

Great app! Waiting for more This has been great as a dental student as well taking the MD classes. A couple suggestions:
Symbols need to be added like the one that Drs write on scripts (the capital T with the dot over it). This could be on a separate section (like the favorites section) labeled symbols.
2. I agree that it needs to go the oyer way to search for words that can be abbreviated (like searching for the abbreviation for benzodiazepines and having tge result being the abbreviation for it (BZD).
Otherwise this would be a perfect app with a perfect price.

Needs ROS in notes For the 5th star:
Include ROS as a separate category under notes, and charge a buck more!
Include those "a with a bar", "c with a bar", and others derived from Latin. They're in the screen shot but not in the app.
Reverse lookup would earn another dollar or two.
Great way to finance your education! Always keep in mind your patients' welfare (26 years in practice). Even when you just don't know, you can still help by caring.

Palliative Physician Nice app, easily worth the 99 cents. Search feature is useful. Can the next update distinguish Joint Commission approved from unapproved abbreviations? - Medical Abbreviations review by Palliative Doc
Very useful App App is useful but the search function does not work. When you hit search nothing at all happens. You are forced to use the index letters and a lot of scrolling.
!!! - UPDATE - !!!
Upgraded rating. Search began working after I rebooted my iPhone. - Medical Abbreviations review by BIG-KEM
Great program Great program and well worth the price. But would be even better if it had links to wikipedia. - Medical Abbreviations review by Med student slave
Helpful Great program for 99 cents but I think links to wikipedia would help - Medical Abbreviations review by NSW550
PT Lacks some basic abbreviations that forces me to Wickipedia. Will need some updates. - Medical Abbreviations review by Rehab Acute Care Therapist
Perfect Application! I am a medical student and am constantly trying to figure out medical acronyms. This application covers 90% of the acronyms I have looked up, and now that there is a link to Wikipedia this application has even more far reaching uses of understanding medical terminology. - Medical Abbreviations review by Bastyr
Helpful... But I need more for PHYSICAL THERAPY/ORTHOPEDICS terms... wish u can add.. - Medical Abbreviations review by Senior Spanky
Great, but.... I wish I knew all the abbreviations but I don't. This app needs flip access to a list of the words/phrases being abbreviated so I can generate the abbreviation for my notes. - Medical Abbreviations review by kdeb

Always room for improvement Great for a patient (all of us), the nurse, the doctor or a pharmacist tech. I would love to see more citations (I.E. to accrededation sites) or in some cases just more information as in a link to Wikipedia or another respected site. Every review above is excellent.
Search is a /must have/ for any jazzy interface. Always add more words with every release. Keep it up! Great going! - Medical Abbreviations review by pixelpub[x.q]
Excellent Great application, works perfectly. Very handy at work. - Medical Abbreviations review by BilalNaseer
love it but...... The only problem i have is it is missing a few key abbreviations and i wish it categorized the abbreviations so it would be easier to find. - Medical Abbreviations review by jp2308
Need links!!! Where are the links to describe?? Wikipedia links would be excellent. Other than that it's got a long list of mesicsl term which is good. For this price what can you expect I guess huh? - Medical Abbreviations review by Crazycooljoel
