- Date:
- Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
- Track: Research
- CME/CE: 1.0
Sponsored by the Research Committee and the Junior Faculty Research Career Development Special Interest Group
Moderator: Rebecca T. Brown, MD, MPH
The purpose of the workshop is to provide geriatrics researchers with a “toolbox” of skills needed to produce a compelling and persuasive written product. Learning Objectives: (1) describe how writing clearly and persuasively can allow geriatrics researchers to cross the translation divide and ultimately catalyze change in the care of older adults; (2) create an outline for a thought piece for an academic journal that uses this format to articulate a scientific argument; (2) create an outline for an op-ed, letter to the editor, or column that incorporates key principles of effective writing for traditional print media; and (4) draft a blog or tweet that incorporates key principles of effective writing for social media.
