Description

Advanced Medical Transcription bridges the gap between textbook medical terminology and "doctor speak." Fostering critical thinking and listening skills, this text demonstrates how foundational knowledge of physiology and disease processes combined with contextual clues can help decipher difficult dictation, discriminate sound-alike words and phrases, guide research efforts, and efficiently produce accurate documentation. The text's unique approach to terminology places an emphasis on medical phrases and medical lingo as opposed to individual terms. Exercises and activities throughout each chapter use authentic dictation from acute-care and ambulatory settings and cover a variety of medical specialties and accents.
