2022 interns
Ben B., 2nd year medical student at VCU
"This internship was a great taste of scientific writing and a way to merge my interest in medicine and improve my writing skills. I learned so much through the WLSI, now I want to learn more."
Phoebe D., M.D., 2nd year Postdoctoral Fellow at VCU Wright Center
“As a budding physician scientist I realized writing is essential but it can be difficult to communicate scientific findings. I’ve always been interested in research, but through the WLSI, I’ve become a better communicator across all platforms.”
Christine L., 2nd year medical student at VCU
"I was drawn to the WLSI because of my interest in health equity advocacy. As a WLSI intern, I learned about a lot I had not previously been exposed to – from public speaking to grant writing and everything in between.”
