On-Line Medical Dictionary

To look up a term in the dictionary, enter it in the text input box above and click on the "Search OMD" button.

You should enter the term as you would normally expect to see it written, though case and punctuation (spaces, hyphens, etc.) are generally not significant. There is no particular Search syntax, just enter a word or phrase and if in doubt enter single words and the best match will be returned, ignoring case.
