Course Information

Discover key components of medical writing and learn the skills to excel as a medical writer in this free online course.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the need for medical writing. There are several causes for this - pharmaceutical firms generate more new drugs and scientific documentation that must be submitted to regulatory bodies for approval. The good news is that you do not need any degree in the medical sciences to start a career in this field; you only need to master the key components of medical writing covered in this course.

A successful writer needs education, practice, experience, writing skills, rejection tolerance, and a strong will to achieve. The lessons will explore different types of medical writing and discuss various essential aspects to succeed, including style, procedures for referencing, writing in plain English and writing accurate scientific facts. Discover how to carry out quality research and presentation necessary for sharing your results with the rest of the academic world and writing reports and reviews.

Furthermore, you will explore medical journalism, which is disseminating health stories and medical-related topics in mass media. Healthcare providers, including doctors and nurses, are also often interested in medical writing; therefore, the lessons will discuss writing specifically for medical professionals, which involves writing medicinal information and implementation procedures. This course is for beginners and anyone who wants to further hone their skills. Enrol now.
