Writing...you have to be fairly detailed, but brief.
The kind of writing I do daily is patient notes, evals and maybe a w/c writeup
The type of writing process I use is a SOAP note (subjective, objective, assessment and plan) and lots and lots of sentence fragments.
The writing processes I think a student needs to know is the facts and only the facts
Everyone in my dept. pays attention to writing as they are all writing notes for doctors to read and insurance companies.
The most difficult aspect of writing in my profession is all the paperwork that we medical professionals have to do these days to get paid by insurance companies.
I think I had adequate writing training as a student. The hardest thing was to realize that medical writing is NOT creative writing...no flowery stuff here.
OK...I've had enough writing...good luck!! Mary
