University of California Los Angeles Medical Writing Style Discussion
Description
Please respond to both of the following prompts:
Based on the course materials on medical writing style explain what you see as some key features of medical writing style and how the style might differ from other forms of writing. (Your response should be 150 words or more).
Writing style can vary somewhat by genre and audience. As you, see in one of our readings in the next module, the áse Report)s one common genre in medical writing, written for medical audiences. (Don worry, you will not be required to write one of these!) Here is an example of a case report from the Journal of Medical Case Reports: Sample Case Report. Read a couple of paragraphs from the sample case report, perhaps from the discussion section. (Don worry if you don understand all the terminology). Considering what you¥ learned about medical writing style, what do you notice about the writing style of the sample case report? Give examples. Does it reflect what some of our course materials mentioned about medical writing style? What do you notice about how sources are cited? (Write a paragraph of 100 words or more in response to this question.)
