Summary
Jozo Marević: Eight-language medical encyclopedic dictionary
The dictionary only partially goes into the professional explanation of terms, which is a feature of professional dictionaries. With very short explanations, it is concise and informative. OMER is mostly a descriptive rather than a normative dictionary. In its starting point, its description captures modern medical language and its syntagms.
OMER includes all basic medical terms, i.e. classical, medieval and modern, as well as the latest modern medicine as a whole (because humanity comes to new knowledge in the field of modern medicine every day) and terms of individual medical sciences, but also related, borderline sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, genetics, biogenetics...).
It is based and processed as a language a manual of wider application in medicine. That is why it should be a reliable aid in diverse forms of fruitful work, effective action and successful learning in the medical profession. Possible users of multilingual medical information in the country and abroad are doctors, nurses, ophthalmologists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, students of all medical professions and, at the end, that is, at the beginning, patients as direct users of medical professions.
