A term used in medicine to refer to a doctor's overall
collection of skills and tools to perform the art of healing. A
physician's armamentarium may contain surgical procedures,
access to an MRI scanner, bedside manner, the basic ability to
diagnose illness and a prescription pad. Armamentarium may also
refer to a general collection of equipment possessed by a
medical institution, or procedures available to the medical
community in general. In becoming a dermatologist, Dr. Fishman
added many chemical peel procedures to her armamentarium. Modern
medicine has a massive armamentarium of antibiotic therapies for
combating bacterial infection.
