Learn Medical Terms

Free · Designed for iPad

Believe it or not – updated after all these years to work with iOS 11! Eponyms brings a short description of about 1800 common and obscure medical eponyms (e.g., Rovsing's sign, Virchow's node) to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. A perfect tool to quickly look up the meaning of any eponym. It uses the beautiful eponym database from Andrew J. Yee (http://www.eponyms.net/). ## Features • About 1800 eponyms • Full text search • Browse by any of the 26 categories • Star eponyms to keep track of the eponyms you tend to forget or which you know are favorites of your professor • List of recently accessed eponyms • Quick and easy learn mode ## Learn Mode The learn mode allows you to: • swipe to the left to show a random eponym but not its title • swipe to the right to show a random eponym title but not its text • pull down to reveal the hidden info Learn mode displays eponyms from the category you're currently visiting. This means you can either learn eponyms from a given category, only the ones that you've starred or simply all of them. ## Non-students: This is the free student version. Please only download the free version while you (still) are a student. Look for the regular version if you're a professional now.
