With 25,000 entries for each language, this pocket dictionary incorporates all the English and German terminology that a medical student or doctor is likely to meet in everyday practice or the study environment. This makes it the ideal reference tool for anyone needing to improve their communication skills, or increase confidence in their ability to quickly identify the appropriate expression or word in more complex situations. Also available from Thieme are separate, hardcover volumes: German to English, and English to German. These are in both abridged (Thieme LexiMed Compact) and unabridged (Thieme LexiMed) formats, and offer an even more comprehensive coverage of medical and scientific terminology. A fully searchable CD-ROM is also in preparation.
