Recenzijas
"This book covers all aspects of documentation for athletic training. The organization of material and the clarity of the writing add value. This is the best book on the subject and it is extremely useful to athletic training students and experienced athletic training trainers alike. The format is creative and makes reading enjoyable and engaging. I dont know of any other book on documentation specifically for athletic training. This edition addresses new areas for documentation requirements such as billing/reimbursement and various electronic forms of documentation.
