Offline Medical Dictionary

As a medical student, it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information that you are presented with. You can’t carry your textbooks with you at all times, but a virtual dictionary can certainly come in handy.

Offline Medical Dictionary is a Windows 10 app that, true to its name, provides you with a comprehensive dictionary suitable for all medical specialties. Usable on both PCs and mobile devices, it includes numerous helpful definitions.

The application comes equipped with a definition database that includes over 30000 terms, so it is unlikely that you will not find what you are looking for. From anatomy to medical conditions, this app covers pretty much everything.

As its name suggests, Offline Medical Dictionary does not require you to be connected to the Internet. As a result, you can use it anywhere, even on the go, as it is also compatible with mobile devices.

In order to find a definition, you only need to enter the right term and sort through the results. When you click on an entry, the definition is displayed in a new window, and the text can be copied to the clipboard.

Unfortunately, though, we noticed that some of the definitions are shown twice in the results list, an issue that will hopefully be resolved in future releases.

If you find yourself searching for a particular definition very often, it may be a good idea to favorite it. These items can be accessed more easily, and they can also be removed from the list at any time.

A full history of your searches is recorded and can be accessed from the History tab. However, it does not seem to be possible to clear this list.

Overall, Offline Medical Dictionary is a relatively straightforward app that can be very useful for medical students. It offers an extensive definition database, but it could be improved in a few respects.
