From a personal statement for admittance into a medical school to communication and continuing professional development, students, nurses, and doctors need to have good English and writing skills. This guide for medical personnel provides techniques and methods to hone such skills. The first chapter defines and teaches reflective practice in writing. The second chapter concentrates on writing good English, which includes syntax, spelling, paragraph construction and other conventions. Chapter 3 provides example essays to critically analyze, while the fourth chapter guides the student through self-assessment exercises. Well-organized, simply stated and easy to follow, even non-medical communicators will find this a useful text. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
