Training and resources for medical writers
Medical writing is a complex career, with a steep learning curve
Every agency does things slightly differently, and many medical writers are freelance. On the job training is a critical part of development, but it can only go so far. It’s also tricky to fit training into such a busy workload, and team leaders rarely have the time to prepare and deliver all the training their team needs.
All training by the MedComms Mentor is focused on giving participants practical tools and developing key skills, to help writers of all career stages progress and fulfil their potential.
