Quick link: JD.MD’s Medical and Dental Abbreviations Glossary
My most intimidating paralegal assignment always was a medical records summary. I probably took four times longer than I should have whenever I had a stack of medical records to tackle. Thank goodness for medical dictionaries!
Today I want to provide a link to an online medical and dental abbreviations glossary that seems quite useful. JD.MD are medical and dental malpractice experts who put it together.
Hints & Highlights
- Download the PDF version for viewing or printing; or
- Use the alphabet menu to go directly to the webpage you need.
- Print out the 15-page glossary as a ready reference (but you may want to return to the site occasionally for updates).
The glossary is short but packed with abbreviations. It can’t replace a medical dictionary, but it seems like a handy, quick reference to either bookmark or print. They say they update it weekly and you can email them for help.
If anyone reading this is experienced in medical records summaries, please let me know what you think! I hope to develop more resources in this area.
