"I believe I could improve my written communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I know that patient documentation in an EMR needs to be clear and concise. During my time at Wayne State University, I would make it a personal goal to continue to improve the conciseness of my written communication skills in my coursework and clinical rotations. Of course, I'd also always be open to feedback from faculty."
