Report an issueMedAbbreviations provides instant access to over *fourteen thousand* abbreviations. If you are a medical professional, or if you ever read what a healthcare professional writes, you need to be able to understand those cryptic shorthand scrawls. MedAbbreviations is your solution.
Over 14,000 medical abbreviations: scrollable, searchable, and bookmarkable. Why pay more or get less?
A tool like this is only as good as its consistency. MedAbbreviations is the right tool for the job; competing applications, with significantly smaller databases, have 1/10th the chance of providing you with the explanation you seek every time.
Search by abbreviation via the instant search bar, or scroll with the alphabetical index on the right side. Find what you need, the way you want to find it.
You can add abbreviations to your Favorites list by just double-tapping an entry; a star then appears by its name. Your Favorites list is yours to control, ordered how you want.
Tapping an abbreviation shows a details screen, with the term and its meaning in large print. MedAbbreviations automatically determines whether a Wikipedia article is available for the meaning. Just tap "View in Wikipedia" or "Search in Google" to do so directly from MedAbbreviations.

8 of 25Great app
When is your Ap going to be updated to play with the newest version of the Iphone?
I work in a busy doctor office and this comes in handy when ordering lab work!!!
Almost most of the abbreviations included 👍 i wish to see update activity including even more abbreviations 😉
I upgraded to the iPhone 7 and the app presented with a warning about how it will slow down my phone. The developer should feel ashamed for taking money or an app with a known deficit.
I use this app almost on a daily basis. My lifeline at work & even at home! Keep up the good work!
Good
Great app for my work
