Medical Writing Master Classes are run by an experienced professional medical writer and trainer, Dr John Carpenter. Each participant will be asked to submit an example of their writing (preferably a manuscript in progress) in advance of the workshop for Dr Carpenter to analyse. During the Master Class, Dr Carpenter will discuss the submitted work and use extracts from the manuscripts as exercises and as examples of good and poor technique.
All Master Class particpants will have their own manuscript corrected by Dr Carpenter.
Language: English
Who Should Attend?
- Medical Writing Master Classes are intended for scientists and healthcare professionals who already have moderate experience of writing in English but who want to enhance their knowledge and skills.
- These Master Classes are presented in English and are highly interactive. Attendees must therefore be prepared to participate in discussions in English.
