| Description |
 This is a practical skills course designed to enable people who do not know their ear from their elbow to read and understand the contents of a medical chart for compensation purposes. The course is designed for anyone considering working in personal injury or disability areas. The three essentials to be supplied in this course are:
(1) Familiarity with the principal documents in a medical record; knowing when to consult each of them, what they will do for you and (equally important) what they will not do;
(2) Implanting on the hard drive of the mind a basic medical vocabulary including the more common letter abbreviations;
(3) A specially digested and prepared modicum of information about clinical medicine which will enable the student to understand the contents of the record.
The classes will be interactive using specially prepared POWERPOINT presentations. There will also be TOOLBOOK tutorials and quizzes to sharpen understanding (not to grade performance).
Evaluation will be by examination, mainly short questions but with two or three essays on important topics (e.g., subtle brain damage or the evaluation of low back pain).
