BEIKS Pocket Medical Encyclopedia

Application description

Often, the times a person needs quick answers to medical questions they are not near a desktop computer or printed medical encyclopedia.

The information found in the Encyclopedia includes not only standard medical terms but also pertinent scientific items, abbreviations, acronyms, jargon, institutions, projects, symptoms, syndromes, eponyms, and medical history.
