The Plain Language Medical Dictionary widget is a project of the University of Michigan Taubman Health Sciences Library as part of the Michigan Health Literacy Awareness project. To use, click on the drop down menu to browse the list of high-level medical terms. Once a word or phrase is selected, the plain language translation will appear in the box. Search for the Plain Language Medical Dictionary in iTunes as well! It’s a free download. [http://t.co/eT9eMT2]
