My Next Job
I would like to get as job doing clinical research, this job does require a lot of writing for different reasons. One of the main things I will be writing research studies and the research protocol. I will also have to monitor trials on humans and record my findings, they will need to be detailed and precise. One of the main rules in any medical job is documentation is key, if it isn’t documented then it isn’t done. Your documentation can save you! It needs to be written out nicely and correctly so that there is no misunderstanding. In some schools to get into the clinical research program you have to submit formal research proposals and papers, and during internships you have to write about what you did, learned, and experienced. There is a lot more writing than you would expect, it is critical that you know how to write, not only write but write well. I may have to submit papers to someone that is above me in the work place, and I need to be able to write well. I might be collecting data and putting that into writing to give to my supervisor or company. I will have to give information to certain pharmaceutical companies and to the public about side effects of certain drugs. I am going to need to be precise and detailed in all my writing, being able to write good will not only help me get the job I want but will also help me be promoted and move up in my job. Because no one wants to stay at the bottom! I
