I am writing an essay and I would like to know if I did this right. The source I got it from wasn’t a complete sentence but said free health insurance coverage for employee and family. In my essay I wrote “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. Is this acceptable?

Answer 1

Actually, "Programs" dont provide anything. Perhaps it is the hospital he is assigned, or his Med School has it covered, somebody pays. I suspect it is the hospital which employs him. You could word is "His family and he have health insurance while he is a resident"

Answer 2

Sorry the part in quotations is the title I meant to ask if what isn’t in quotations is plagiarism or not.

Answer 3

Not if the part not in quotation marks is in your own words. The quotation marks, in this instance, would indicate the official name of the program he is part of. If that's not the name of the program, but a generic reference, it doesn't belong in quotation marks, either.

Answer 4

bobpursley's comment should also be taken into consideration. The insurance may be provided by some entity WHILE he is in the residency program - not by the program itself. It would, most likely, be provided by the hospital under its group insurance program for employees.

Answer 5

Sorry once again but what is in quotations is the title of the article to show that I cited my sources. I meant to ask if what I had written was an acceptable paraphrase.
