Study Tip - Week 48
How Long Should You Struggle?
Both students and practitioners struggle over how much time to spend struggling. That is, how much time should you spend trying to decipher difficult dictation? How much time should you spend trying to document an unfamiliar term? How do you balance quality and productivity? When do you cry "uncle!"? Georgia Green, CMT, an innovative and creative teacher and medical transcription supervisor, answers these questions and gives practical guidelines for deciphering the indecipherable in her article, "Feeling the Need for Speed." You can find this article and other great articles by Georgia in the Downloads section of the HPI website: http://www.hpisum.com.
