Taking a user-friendly, modular approach, GRAMMAR AND WRITING SKILLS FOR THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, 3e, helps entry-level health care students combine correct grammar with medical language as they prepare professional reports and documentation. The text is organized into independent sections within three modules -- enabling learners to study concepts in the order that best suits their needs. Focusing on basic grammar, the first module equips readers with the guidelines and practical knowledge they will need in real-world practice. The second module builds on that foundation with more advanced grammar. The third module emphasizes the thinking process involved in writing and grammar at the entry level and includes a step-by-step writing process that offers a simple approach to writing a resume and cover letter as well as medical reports, correspondence, emails, office meeting minutes, progress notes, charting, research, and brochures.

This acclaimed book is a master teacher's tested program for turning clumsy prose into clear, powerful, and effective writing. A logical, expert, easy-to-use plan for achieving excellence in expression, Style offers neither simplistic rules nor endless lists of dos and don'ts. Rather, Joseph Williams explains how to be concise, how to be focused, how to be organized. Filled with realistic examples of good, bad, and better writing, and step-by-step strategies for crafting a sentence or organizing a paragraph, Style does much more than teach mechanics: it helps anyone who must write clearly and persuasively transform even the roughest of drafts into a polished work of clarity, coherence, impact, and personality.
