WRITE WITH IMPACT
A Collaborative Intercollegiate Newsletter for the Betterment of Scholarly Writing
|
|
The purpose of this newsletter is to offer tips and tricks to write in the sciences in a brief and easily understood manner. On a quarterly basis, you will read advice and writing experiences from seasoned, published faculty. In the ‘Writer’s Corner,’ my trusted colleagues and I deliver valuable advice for writing in the clinical and biomedical literature. If you would like to suggest a topic for an upcoming newsletter or have a question for our editors, let us know. |

A hearty welcome to all new medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty! By way of this note, I introduce an important resource available to you here at USF Health. Writing will be an essential part of your academic training and career. It does not have to be a lonely venture. IMpact is a free service to guide you, from planning your abstract, poster or manuscript to preparing your final draft for presentation or submission to a journal. The IMpact website has a library of self-guided writing resources, or you can submit your work to receive individualized feedback from seasoned faculty in the USF Health system.
Now is the time to start writing. Bolster your chances of being a published author and develop a competitive CV for your future endeavors. Visit IMpact for more information (http://impact.health.usf.edu) or reach out to us directly. - Richard F. Lockey, MD

I am fortunate to benefit from what IMpact has to offer as both an author and an editor. As an author, I receive priceless constructive feedback on my writing, which improves not only the manuscripts at hand but also future compositions. As an editor, I am challenged to critically appraise multiple dimensions of submitted works, including methodology, validity, novelty, and writing quality. I value this experience as a means to both learn from and contribute to USF's scientific community. Ultimately, my engagement with IMpact continues to forge a developing skillset critical to effectively interacting with scientific literature, practicing sound evidenced-based medicine, and contributing meaningfully to academia. This is especially invaluable to me as a trainee in pursuit of a career in academic medicine. I am incredibly grateful for the ongoing mentorship, support, and opportunity.

Why should you contribute to a medical journal?
Alejandro Ramirez, MD, FACE
Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism
James A. Haley VA Hospital and Clinics, Tampa, FL
There are perhaps dozens of answers and an even a larger number of reasons to participate in science. I will give you mine. The very question displays how our history has been shaped as the accumulated experience from keen observers shaped our understanding of health and disease, then passed on through generations. We are the heirs to millennia of study and scientific exploration. You can perpetuate and enrich science and in the process, the world itself. And as none of this is unique to you, we all have the responsibility to provide others what we ourselves expect, the continued advancement of our medical knowledge.
