I found this site a while back. I'm pretty experienced, but I thought I'd check this site out for a friend of mine, a new MT.
Hope this helps!

neurologic examination
it sounds like the doc is saying "neurologic examination higher critical function", but could she be saying "neurologic examination hilar cortical function"?
Physical Exam
Does anyone know of any good sites (or books that are not too pricey) that describe the steps of a PE? I have found bits and pieces here and there, but nothing that puts it all together. I type for orthos and sometimes they lose me on the provocative testing words. I am mainly looking for PE samples/explanations for things like: knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, ankle. I have a reference sheet that states their normals, but sometimes they do a test that isn't on the sheet and of course that is when they mumble and I just can't hear it properly. I think it would be helfpful for me to be able to picture the steps of the exam as they are dictating them.
Thanks for any ideas!
history and physical

It is one of the "Basic 4" reports also.
physical therapy work
I have been doing neurosurgery/neurology for the last 8 months and my boss would like to move me to a physical therapy account. I know these are totally different specialties, but I was wondering if any of you can tell me if physical therapy is really difficult to learn. It took me 3 months of intensive training to learn neurosurgery. There will be no training for this position. I really want to try something besides neurosurgery but am hoping it won't be a huge transition for me. Any encouragement would be great! Thanks.
Acute care would be a history and physical or
A clinical report would be what a physician dictates from his office when he sees patients. Sometimes, it gets sketchy with outpatient surgery clinics. Acute care is usually work dictated from a hospital setting and clinical work is dictated from a physician's office, which could be a cardiologist, urologist, etc.
maybe take a medical term course and start with physical therapy office

Basic 4 hospital work - history and physical, discharge summaries, operative notes, and consults. nm
