Writing Skills For Medicine
Good writing skills are key when it comes to applying for residency, publishing research findings and securing funding. We offer books, online resources, workshops and one-on-one appointments with a writing specialist to help you organize your thoughts and put them down on paper in clear and engaging language.
Brush up on The Principles of Good Writing
- Our library and writing resources are good places to start reviewing the basics of good English or academic writing.
- You might also benefit from a one-on-one appointment with the OCPD Writing Specialist who can help you at various stages of your writing project with anything from outlines to paragraph structure and word choice.
- The OCPD also organizes workshops where participants can hone their writing skills through hands-on writing and peer-editing exercises.
Craft a Powerful CV/Residency Letter
- Both the Curriculum Vitae (CV) and residency letter must convey your enthusiasm for a specialty while demonstrating your qualifications and professional maturity.
- In appointments, the OCPD Writing Specialist can help you draft or edit documents that reflects your unique aspirations and skills, meets the residency directors' expectations and fits the recommended size limit.
