Greetings.  These are government KSAs which stand for Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.  I am completing a residency in Pharmacy and am going to be applying for a position in the VA hospital system.  My biggest fault as a writer is that I tend to write exactly like I talk.  This has slowly driven my wife insane and she refuses to edit any more documents for me (haha)!  These are repetative, but that is by design.  Any help on shortening unnecessary words and general edition would be greatly appreciated.  The top bolded statement is what I am specifically responding to below.  Thank you for your help!
