“I schedule an appointment with Harvard Medical School’s Writing Services for every one of my writing assignments. These appointments help me better organize my thoughts and guide me in taking my writing to the next level. Working with Writing Services helps give me confidence that I’ve done everything I can to produce a good paper.

Gene Kim

Master of Science in Bioethics

“Effective writing is crucial for academic achievement in graduate studies, especially challenging for non-native English speakers who may face the risk of plagiarism while presenting their ideas. With guidance from faculties and assistance from the Writing Center, I overcame these challenges. The faculty at the center extended support beyond expectations, which has helped me gradually improve my writing.”
