Excellent book for physical therapy students. It has tons of examples for charting, lots of PT abbreviations, and a great deal of information about professionalism in PT practice. I am actually enjoying reading this book, even after my documentation and professionalism class has ended. I recommend even if your professor has not assigned this textbook for your curriculum.

good book

Could be better in the application of more Med-terminology and abbreviations (unknown for beginners).

Good book!

As described.
