Medical Dictionary for OS X

Do you love the built-in dictionary feature included OS X — but hate the fact that it doesn’t have a medical dictionary?

Well, I’ve got news for you! I have a free medical dictionary plug-in for you to use with the dictionary application on OS X.

Just download the following file meddic.dmg and follow these instructions:

  1. Save “meddic.dmg” to your computer.
  2. Open the file “meddic.dmg”.
  3. Copy the file “Medical Dictionary.dictionary” to your desktop.
  4. Open “Finder” and navigate to “/Library/Dictionaries/”
  5. Drag and drop the file “Medical Dictionary.dictionary” from your desktop to your “Finder” window as shown in the picture below. 

Now you’re all done! Just open the “Dictionary” application to confirm you have installed it properly — it should look like this:

Side Note: The ‘Medical Dictionary for OS X’ was created by myself for my own reference, and was subsequently posted on this blog about two years ago! It is now being re-posted due to popular request.
