Veterinarians may not need a high level of writing classes to get their degree but they use their writing skills every day. It may not be in a formal way but they do learn to write up a prescription and file a soap note. Shown in appendix 2, a SOAP note stands for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan. It is a way for the vet to write down notes in the patients charts and it use to file a patients development. Every patient that a vet sees will have to write in the patients chart and take notes on what the owner is describing the issue. He will then make his decision after examining the pet and fill out a prescription or some form of solution. (Appendix 1) Depending on the practice of the veterinarian, media can be used by more than others.
