Вот именно эти курсы я и буду брать, остальные мне засчитают, т.е. в списке вы уже не видете ни математики, ни science потому что с русского диплома перезачли.
А вот объяснения чем занимаются эти legal secretaries:
For instance, legal secretaries prepare correspondence and legal papers such as summonses, complaints, motions, responses, and subpoenas under the supervision of an attorney or paralegal. They also may review legal journals and assist in other ways with legal research, such as verifying quotes and citations in legal briefs. Medical secretaries transcribe dictation, prepare correspondence, and assist physicians or medical scientists with reports, speeches, articles, and conference proceedings. They also record simple medical histories, arrange for patients to be hospitalized, and order supplies. Most medical secretaries need to be familiar with insurance rules, billing practices, and hospital or laboratory procedures.
Как вы наверное поняли есть обычные секретарши, а есть те которые работают в сфере медицины. Например если взять position повыше то у нас в штате очень требуются nurse paralegal. А это тоже выход нашем медикам с хорошим английским.
