Training

If you are interested in communicating clinical and scientific data and information to a range of audiences in a wide variety of different formats, then consider becoming a medical writer.

Medical writers combine their knowledge of science and their research skills with an understanding of how to present information and pitch it at the right level for the intended audience. The work is extremely varied and you can choose to remain a writer, or expand your responsibilities to encompass many aspects of clinical trial management which in some companies can also involve European and international travel. Many writers move into management, controlling teams of medical writers and projects at local and international levels.

Medical writing training

Dianthus offers public and bespoke training courses in medical writing and statistics. We also highly recommend the European Medical Writers Association, who provides a wide variety of courses aimed at medical writers at various levels.

Introduction to medical writing

This 1-day public course is aimed at anyone interested in becoming a medical writer and jointly organised by Dianthus Medical and AAG Medical Writing. It is also of interest to those who have to work with medical writers (eg CRAs, medical statisticians, data managers) and who would like to develop a better understanding of the medical writing process. Please note that the course is at an introductory level and is therefore not suitable for experienced medical writers.

Topics covered:

  • General overview of medical writing
  • Different medical writing environments
  • How to get started in medical writing
  • Good writing style

We do not yet have a date for when the course will next run, but it is likely to be in September or October 2012. We’ll post the details here as soon as they become available. If you would like us to let you know when the date is fixed, please contact us.

Bespoke training

In addition to the public course we can provide bespoke training in medical writing and statistics, which can be delivered at your company to your specific requirements.
