Effective medical writing requires a mastery of many skills including those of data interpretation, literature evaluation, written communication, and leadership. A number of these skills are considered educational goals and objectives for residents by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, yet preceptors and residents oftentimes face challenges in gaining competency, confidence, and success in medical writing.
A structured yet individualized plan for medical writing, including idea creation, peer reviewing, manuscript preparation, and team management for post-graduate year two pharmacy residents was implemented as an elective learning experience.
Feedback from residents participating in the elective was positive. Each of the two residents who participated produced a manuscript that was subsequently published.
Though data is limited by number of residents that have completed this learning experience, this longitudinally designed elective has potential benefits and barriers to execution that should be considered, but may be an excellent opportunity to develop critical skills in scholarly endeavors for residents and preceptors alike.
有效的医学写作需要掌握多种技能，包括数据解读、文献评估、书面沟通和领导力等技能。美国卫生系统药师协会将其中许多技能视为住院医师的教育目标，但带教老师和住院医师在医学写作方面获得能力、信心和取得成功时往往面临挑战。
为二年级药学住院医师实施了一个结构化但个性化的医学写作计划，包括创意生成、同行评审、稿件准备和团队管理，作为一种选修学习体验。
参与该选修课程的住院医师反馈良好。参与的两名住院医师每人都撰写了一篇随后发表的稿件。
尽管数据受完成此学习体验的住院医师数量限制，但这种纵向设计的选修课程有潜在的益处和实施障碍需要考虑，不过对于住院医师和带教老师而言，可能是在学术活动中培养关键技能的绝佳机会。
