Vera Pyle's "silver book" has been the favorite "must-have" reference among medical transcriptionists for 25 years.

Features:

PDF file with convenient search capability that instantly takes you to all uses of your word.
Numerous bookmarks and major category headings make browsing easier.
Glossary format: definitions, explanations, and examples of usage in dictation.
New, difficult, and "odd-ball" terms that are hard to find or verify.

Researched and compiled by transcriptionists for transcriptionists.

Most medical transcriptionists and students already have a comprehensive medical dictionary such as Dorland's or Stedman's (the only two HPI recommends for MTs). These dictionaries are not updated frequently enough to contain the most current medical terms, and other terms are probably in the big dictionaries but you can't find them!

That's where Vera Pyle's Current Medical Terminology comes in. It's NOT a comprehensive medical dictionary. It has only NEW, DIFFICULT, and HARD-TO-FIND terms, along with definitions and explanations for usage in dictation.

System Requirements:

Windows Operating System 2000, 2003, XP, Vista

Free LockLizard Safeguard PDF Viewer (second set of files on the page). The electronic book is protected from copying by LockLizard and requires a (free) LockLizard Viewer plus a valid registration code to open. Viewer installation will work seamlessly for most people. Some people with firewalls or in corporate environments using proxy servers may need to ask their IT department for assistance, or refer to the LockLizard Safeguard PDF View Product Manual.

(Macintosh users with OSX 10.2 and above and JRE 1.4.2 can contact HPI about a special Mac version with limited features that is not available from the web site.)
