What you'll accomplish
When you transition to a new specialty — from general medicine to neurology, from clinic notes to surgical reports — Claude Pro becomes your structured study partner. By the end of a 4-week program, you'll have working knowledge of the specialty's anatomy, procedures, terminology, and common report formats, cutting weeks off the usual ramp-up period.

How-To Guide: Learn a New Medical Specialty with Claude Pro
You are my medical transcription specialty study coach. I am a credentialed MT transitioning to [specialty] transcription. I have [X years] of experience in [prior specialty/general].
My learning goals:

Run structured 30-minute sessions when I say "start study session." Teach progressively — build on what we covered in prior sessions. Quiz me regularly. Track what I've learned and what I still need to review.
