I really like this book. It is great for any medical transcription students who wish to learn about word expansion. Word expansion is in wide use in the medical transcription field, but many school do not teach it. This is an excellent book to use to begin teaching yourself about word expansion. However, this book will only get you started. Word expansion systems are complicated, and you will need to continue learning from additional sources to become proficient. Word expansion is an essential skill for medical transcriptionist who are paid based on production, and this book is a great place to start. It does not give you glossary lists, though. It gives you suggestions on how to create your own expansion glossary in a systematic way that will be easy for you to remember. It is designed for transcriptionists beginning to use word expansion, and I do not think it would be of much value to anyone with expansion skills above the intermediate level. As an MT student, I am very happy with this purchase, and the book has provided me with invaluable information. However, much of the information is available on medical transcription websites such as productivitytalk.com, but I found it very helpful to have all these tips in the easier to learn format that the book uses.
