If you are writing a personal statement, or just want some structured focused time to do your writing, consider a writing group. Participating in a writing group fulfills your writing flex activity, and you don’t have to use all of the writing time on 27X work: you can write whatever you need to write!
Katherine Schaefer is also running a WSAP Writing Group supporting writing a health professions statement. This group will largely be like other writing groups, focusing on structured writing time and SMART goals. However, in addition, the group will additionally support writing health professions statements with brainstorming exercises to identify values (beyond wanting to help) relevant to medicine, analysis of possible narrative strategies, and some expert advice from professionals at the medical center. This group will meet on Fridays in G121 – Conference Room A, so make sure to sign up!
