Writing Skills for Veterinarians

Communicating ideas in veterinary medicine is a fundamental part of building a career as a clinician and adding onto an established foundation of veterinary research. The purpose of this book is to increase efficiency in writing professional documents, e.g. writing a concise yet thorough discharge statement to clarify medical recommendations. Useful for both veterinary students and practising vets, Writing Skills for Veterinarians addresses how to develop and hone veterinary medical and scientific writing techniques. The basics of veterinary writing and why it matters are covered before concentrating on specific written models expected of vets - creating medical documents, such as SOAP notes, client and colleague communications, case reports, and original research papers. The resource-bank of additional exercises allows the reader to self-test for knowledge and comprehension.
