USA College of Medicine offers medical and science editing and writing service

Elly Trepman, M.D.

For the past five years, the USA College of Medicine has offered a valuable resource for medical and science authors. Sponsored by the Dean's Office, the service provides editing and writing support for scholarly journal articles and grant applications at no cost to USA College of Medicine faculty, students, residents and fellows. 

"The diverse and innovative basic science and clinical articles and grant applications created by members of the USA College of Medicine are solid evidence of the important and impactful work being done here," said Elly Trepman, M.D., who provides the editing and writing service. "It is a pleasure to collaborate with the brilliant and energetic members of this wonderful community and assist with their scholarly efforts."

Trepman received formal training on how to write a scientific paper as an undergraduate at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He fine-tuned his writing skills on diverse projects in basic science laboratories and clinical academic departments. During his career as an academic orthopaedic surgeon, he gained extensive editorial experience with peer-reviewed journals. As a full-time science and medical editor and writer for the past 13 years, he works at any stage of manuscript preparation and tailors the service to the needs of individual authors.

The service was developed by Mary Townsley, Ph.D., former senior associate dean, and currently is administered by Emily Wilson, Ph.D., associate dean for faculty affairs and faculty development.
