At minimum, the following content must be included and written in third person.

• Title page: Include the title of the paper, the author, the university name, a running head, and page numbers.
• Table of contents: List the main heading sections of the paper and the pages where they are located.
• Introduction: Introduce the topic or issue to the particular audience, give overview of the training, and describe what the manual entails. The introduction also previews the main ideas and the order in which they are covered, and establishes a tone of the document.
• Training objectives: Explain to the audience objectives and outcomes of the training and why it is required
• Body (using proper APA headings): The body will encompass the actual training and must start off with an introduction and overview of the legislative, regulatory, or legal foundation (authority) for the training, including citation to all HIM, legal, and ethical sources. It may include original graphics, flow charts, and so on to illustrate content and resources that the employee would need to be compliant with the topic. Break out the main ideas using applicable APA headings when the topic has changed. State the main ideas, highlight major points in each idea, provide evidence, and include the information you found during your research and investigation
• Conclusion: The conclusion should synthesize rather than introduce new material or repeat the main ideas verbatim unless there is a rephrasing of the thesis. The conclusion should recap what the audience is to gain from the training.
