[WEB4LIB] looking for healthcare vocabularies

[P. F. (Pat) Anderson]

The National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus project links to a 
number of these types of resources, and is free. You can find them at:

Click on "Dictionaries" in the lefthand sidebar.

Good luck!

>For a (commercial) search project, I'm looking for vocabularies, 
>synonym lists, thesauri, etc. on the topic of consumer health care.
>
>I'm planning to include common terms for medical specialties 
>(allergists, internists), common diseases and conditions (cancer, 
>pregnancy) and anything else that someone might want to search for.
>
>Any suggestions for sources of such vocabulary would be great!
