In this text, a practicing medical transcriptionist offers practical tips in a conversational writing style. The book can be used as a primary text in a short-term medical transcription course and can also be incorporated into a more comprehensive medical skills program. The text features a wealth of color anatomical illustrations and images and includes review questions, reference tables, scenarios, and activities. This second edition contains two new chapters on surgery and pharmacology. Part 1 covers fundamentals of medical transcription and medical terminology, medical correspondence and reports, and editing, as well as technology and tools used in the field. Part 2 offers chapters on 16 medical specialties; chapters on surgery and pharmacology are new for this edition. Part 3 covers career issues such as job search strategies, online testing, and owning your own business. The CD-ROM contains many review activities and questions, including sample reports for proofreading exercises and audio files so that students can practice transcribing dictation from a variety of accents and dialects. The CD-ROM also contains a glossary of medical terms. Instructor resources available include lesson plans, lecture slides, and an image bank.
