Integrated Healthcare Communication & Grammar
Can I communicate accurately, professionally, and appropriately across different healthcare situations?
Part 1 — the integrated case
A patient arrives for an appointment with a changed insurance status. During the visit she reports a new symptom. She needs a referral to a specialist. Later the same day she calls the office with a question about her follow-up instructions.
- The patient is established with the practice and was last seen four months ago.
- At check-in, the front desk finds her insurance carrier has changed and coverage for today's visit cannot be verified.
- During the visit she reports a new symptom that has been present for about two weeks and is getting worse.
- The provider decides she should be seen by a specialist and asks you to start the referral.
- That afternoon she calls back, unsure whether she should stop taking one of her current medications before the specialist visit.

Part 2 — grammar and spelling
Twelve questions, three from each of the four error categories you have worked on all term. This is practice — the graded assessment is given in class. Every option explains itself, so work through the ones you get wrong rather than moving straight on.
Grammar review — the spiraling error checklist
Three items from each category: agreements, fragments and run-ons, punctuation and capitalization, and word choice.
Practice only — nothing here is graded or recorded.

Every word from the course. Use Spell it mode and work through the ones you miss.
