Capitalization - The patient was referred to Surgical Service - Shayndel
Posted: Feb 01, 2011
When I type a sentence such as: "The patient was referred to Surgical Service", the word "Service" is capitalized since it is a specific service in the hospital.
When the dictator says: "The patient was referred to the Anesthesia Team", would the word "Team" be capitalized also?
Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't capitalize either anesthesia or team. If it was just anesthesia, this would be referring to a department and it would be capitalized and Anesthesia Service but since it's the anesthesia team, it would be no different than say... the football team. It's just a group of people, in my view. : )
