WASHINGTON, PA (September 6, 2022)—Rising junior Robert “Bucky” 凯撒 may have transferred into W&J for a new experience, but it’s the work he’s done out of it that’s taken him to new frontiers.
Serving as a medical communications intern at Wiesen Medical Writing (WMW) in Marlton, 新泽西, 凯撒, a biochemistry major and Maxwell Scholar, spent his summer exploring medical writing in an immersive Internships.
“It mainly entailed distilling medical knowledge into more digestible forms like outlines or slide decks,凯泽说, “and a whole lot of editing and 校对.”
With the latter far from his forte, 有科学头脑的凯撒, having a penchant for improvement, used the opportunity to grow.
“It forced me to work on my biggest weaknesses: public speaking, 校对, 和写作,凯泽说. “I knew that going in—it’s why I wanted to get an Internships in medical writing—but it still was challenging.”
Unwavering, however, he tackled the task and embraced the development of a new skill set.
“I think the highlight for me was actually a presentation I got to do in front of the entire WMW team,凯泽说, boasting of the feat he previously feared. “我必须感谢布朗博士. Tim Yeung and the rest of the WMW team for their mentorship.”
Of course, he also enjoyed elements of the job that sit more firmly in his wheelhouse.
“Getting to read how patients progressed under treatment and learning about the different elements of a clinical study report…was really fascinating,凯泽说. “I really enjoy learning and applying medical knowledge, especially about drug discovery and mechanisms of action, and that’s perfect because it is, 毫不夸张地说, half the job of a medical writer.”
For the ease in which he navigates scientific concepts, 凯撒 shares credit with W&J.
“虽然我只在W&J一年, I feel like it prepared me well,他说, giving a nod to Professor of 生物logy Candy DeBarry, Ph.D, who pushed him toward the Internships.
尽管他对此很感激, 凯撒 is leaning away from a career in medical writing, but toward a career the writing enhances.
“My ambition is set on pursuing an MD and specializing in family medicine, or potentially an MD-Ph.D.凯泽说. “But this Internships is broadening my understanding of the medical field, both front and back. Physicians have to get their information from somewhere and medical writers really facilitate that.”
