CLARITY is a departmental initiative designed to enhance the written and oral communication skills of clinicians, researchers, and staff—from faculty and fellows to managers and administrative staff. The program has three components: training to improve written and oral communication, structured editorial support (primarily for manuscripts being submitted for publication and grants), and resources and support for publication and other scholarly processes.
Tap into our curated resources for convenient, online learning that can help you improve your communication skills, written and oral. Writing a case report? Try CareWriter, a web-based tool that helps you produce a complete but concise first draft. Get easy access to the AMA Manual of Style.
Preparing to submit your manuscript? Working on a grant? We offer editing services from basic proofreading to substantive edits. For example, we can format your manuscript for a specific journal or edit any document for conciseness and clarity. Use our Editorial Support Request form to request help or learn more.
CLARITY can help you navigate the road to publication and beyond. We can find the right journal for your manuscript, troubleshot EndNote snags, and populate your ORCID profile. We can lead you to reporting guidelines, which are now required by many journals. We can also help you promote your published research.
