Features-- High Profile Terms --Terms that so profoundly affect the practice of medicine that they warrant more than the standard dictionary definition; they are highlighted in blue boxes. Users can develop knowledge of the key concepts in medicine. Not highlighted in the competition.

--Art Program includes approximately 1500 color illustrations, photographs, and tables. The art program is used to expand and clarify the meanings of the dictionary terms; liberal use of four color throughout.
