Designed for writers in the health-care industry, this seminar offers “cures” for communicating to both medical and non-medical readers.

Medical Writing is tailored for employees in health-care fields who must target highly specialized audiences as well as non-technical readers.

Participants in this two-day seminar analyze medical writing samples that are relevant to their own writing tasks.
