More user friendly than ever, GRAMMAR AND WRITING SKILLS FOR THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, 3e, is now organized into independent sections within three modules -- giving instructors complete flexibility to introduce concepts in the order that best suits their needs. The book helps students combine correct grammar with medical language as they prepare professional reports and documentation. Focusing on basic grammar, the first module equips entry-level health care students with the guidelines and practical knowledge they will need in real-world practice. Building on that foundation, the second module contains more advanced grammar for entry-level students, enabling instructors to pick and choose content for whatever course they are teaching in the curriculum. The third module emphasizes the thinking process involved in writing and grammar at the entry level. The third module's step-by-step writing process provides a simple approach to writing a resume and cover letter.
