Course Description

High-quality medical writing, which has a multi-million dollar impact on a company’s financial performance, can prevent the need for additional clinical trials which are often required because of unclear communication and poorly written documents.  Good medical writing can lead to optimal product labeling, allowing successful product promotions and maximization of advertising claims.

Well written submission documentation can decrease the length of the product marketing approval process and increase the amount of time a product can be sold under patent protection.  This course provides an overview of how to present product information clearly and concisely for the targeted audience.  Hands-on exercises reinforce the course content.
