Bạn Lê Định Trung Tâm, 37 tuổi, Bác sĩ chuyên khoa 1 y tế Cần Thơ, drttdinh21@... cho biết trong quá trình đọc các tài liệu y học của nước ngoài để làm luận án chuyên khoa 2 gặp phải rất nhiều từ viết tắt y khoa mà không hề có chú giải trước đó, nên đề nghị Ban Biên tập Website chỉ dẫn để tiện đọc tài liệu tham khảo.
Ban Biên tập xin trả lời danh sách các cụm từ mà bạn gởi qua địa chỉ email và xin bổ sung danh mục al[habet đầy đủ các từ viết tắt thông dụng trong thuật ngữ y khoa. Điều này rất hay gặp trong thuật ngữ y khoa mà các tác giả hay dùng trong các cuốn cẩm nang (mannual) hay cuốn hướng dẫn (Guidelines) hoặc các đơn thuốc kê đơn do các bác sĩ người nước ngoài sử dụng cho nhanh, gọn. một số khác họ có thể dùng dưới dạng ký hiệu và biểu tượng,…
