Why Writing Is Important

In almost every career it is necessary to use writing and communication to become successful. I am aspiring to be a doctor. In doing that, I will need to communicate daily with patients and other people in the health profession. There will be many occasions where I’ll need to refer a patient to someone or I’ll need to write a report on their condition. Specifically in the health field, there are many medical words that are difficult for patients to understand and I will need to put them in layman’s terms it so that it’s easier for them. I will need to continue to improve my writing and communication skills so that I am able to write clearly and thoroughly. At some point in my career I will also be likely to do a lot of research on specific diseases and conditions. If I want any of my work to be published, I will need to improve my writing so that it is organized and easy to understand. It is also important to write well if I want to be taken seriously by other doctors and my patients. As I stated before, it is important in any profession to have good writing and communication skills and I am aware that for most people it will take a lot of hard work and practice to get there.
