Writing is important to
me because it will allow me to expand on my vocabulary as well as help with my
career of being a physician assistant. Word selection is a key component to
communication skills. In the field of medicine speaking to patients and making
sure that they understand is crucial. Medical terms will probably not make
clear sense to a patient, so choosing words and phrases that will simplify the
explanation will allow the patient to know what is happening. The medical field
does not only require communication skills, but also the ability to write.
Physician
assistants must write letters, emails, exam reports, prescriptions, and more.
Therefore, I need to be aware of how I am developing into a writer. I should
try to find my professional voice through writing classes. I imagine the MLA
format will haunt me in the professional world, so I need to ensure that I know
it and can use it. Writing is extremely important and is an area that I will
improve upon.
I agree that writing is pretty important going into the medical field. Having a professional writing voice is important so others take you seriously. Im not that great as using MLA format either!
ReplyDeleteWithin the medical field, I do agree that verbal communication as well as written communication is very important. You bring up a good point that the patient has to understand what you are saying to them and diction becomes very important. I do agree with you that writing is very important.
