Note: This is merely a suggested list of resources to support the learning issues identified in A&I Case #5.  Other resources not listed here may be equally useful and should not be overlooked.

Medical Terminology

Blood, D. C. and V. P. Studdert, compilers.  Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary.  2^nd ed.  London; New York: W. B. Saunders, 1999.  1380p.
      Medical dictionaries frequently list terms of both medical and veterinary significance, as well as words of purely veterinary usage.  Although Stedman's Medical Dictionary Illustrated [28^th ed., 2006] appears to define more uniquely veterinary terms, the choice between Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary [30^th ed., 2003] or Stedman's is a matter of personal preference.
