Features & Capabilities

Believe it or not – updated after all these years to work with iOS 11!

Eponyms brings a short description of about 1800 common and obscure medical eponyms (e.g., Rovsing's sign, Virchow's node) to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. A perfect tool to quickly look up the meaning of any eponym.

It uses the beautiful eponym database from Andrew J. Yee (http://www.eponyms.net/).

Features

• About 1800 eponyms • Full text search • Browse by any of the 26 categories • Star eponyms to keep track of the eponyms you tend to forget or with which you want to test your students on • List of recently accessed eponyms • Quick and easy learn mode

Learn Mode

The learn mode allows you to:

• swipe to the left to show a random eponym but not its title • swipe to the right to show a random eponym title but not its text • pull down to reveal the hidden info

Learn mode displays eponyms from the category you're currently visiting. This means you can either learn eponyms from a given category, only the ones that you've starred or simply all of them.

Students

Look out for the free student version of Eponyms: it's identical to to this version but free for educational purposes!
