A medical encyclopedia is a full written summary that stores information about diseases, medical conditions, tests, symptoms, injuries, and surgery. It may contain photo galleries and illustrations related to drugs. The medical encyclopedia provides readers with information about health questions. It may also contain some information about the history of the disease, the development of medical technology used to detect the disease in the early phase. Licensed doctors should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment for all and all medical conditions.

Characteristics
The four main elements determine the medical encyclopedia: its subject matter, its scope, its organizational method, and its method of production:
- The encyclopedia can be general, containing articles about topics in each field. The medical encyclopedia provides valuable health information, tools for managing your health, and support for those seeking information.
- The work of the encyclopedic scope aims to convey important accumulated knowledge to their subject domain, such as medical encyclopedias.
- Articles on subjects in the medical encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name or for health topics.
- Because modern multimedia and the information age have evolved, they have an ever-increasing effect on collecting, verifying, summarizing, and presenting information of all kinds. Medical encyclopedias like Medline Plus, WebMD, and Merck's Manual are examples of new forms of medical encyclopedias as information retrieval becomes simpler. Some online encyclopedias are medical wiki, which uses wiki software to collaboratively write information.
