Medical Writing Training

Course Description - Course runs 9:00 to 5:00 both days (Breakfast & Lunch Included)

CfPIE’s medical writing courses present a comprehensive overview of the structure of American English to give non-native writers of English the tools they need to produce clear, complete, and comprehensive documents. The medical writing training covers the structure of the language and how to control the individual components, as well as the choices writers have in delivering messages. The course also addresses specific aspects of English that are problematic for individual participants. Attendees should come prepared with specific questions they want answered during the course.

Who Should Attend

This is a course for people whose native language is other than English and who must write documents in support of therapeutic product development or regulatory submissions. Participants will learn about English within the context of the type of writing the therapeutic products industry requires.  This course is valuable for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech professionals in drug discovery, product development, quality assurance, clinical testing, information technology, and regulatory affairs who have some understanding of English, but wish to refine their writing skills. It is also helpful for native-born writers who want to better understand the English language and how to control it.
