Pronunciation, vocabulary, definitions, and drawings are studied to focus on patient case studies. Dictation relating to assigned cases is then transcribed. Each case has from three to five reports that originate from the treatment of the patient as he or she moves from one stage of treatment to another up to the final discharge from the hospital. Students will be required to analyze and evaluate critically the dictated materials and apply this knowledge to entering the information accurately and correctly.
