Question

Which of the following tasks might rely on a physician’s reading skills?

writing a patient report

interpreting test results

presenting to a committee

understanding an article in a medical journal

Answer 1

Interpreting test results and understanding an article in a medical journal.

Briefly: interpreting test results requires reading lab/report values and written interpretations; reading journal articles obviously depends on reading skills. Writing a patient report and presenting to a committee are primarily writing and speaking tasks (though they can involve some reading of background information).
