Medicine (or Biomedicine), is derived from the Latin ars medicina, "the art of healing", and is pronounced as a disyllabic word (i.e., med-sinn) by many native speakers of standard English. However, those from Scotland and the US usually pronounce it as a trisyllabic word (i.e., meh-dih-sin).^[1]

Medicine is a branch of the health sciences, and is the sector of public life concerned with maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, treatment and possible prevention of disease and injury. It is both an area of knowledge – a science of body systems, their diseases and treatment, studied by medical researchers (Biomedicians) – and the applied practice of that knowledge, which principally constitutes a physician's work in clinical medicine.
