By the end of the program, fellows will have a clear understanding of the key competencies and responsibilities of the Medical Writing role, and well as the Scientific Director role. Additionally, fellows will gain familiarity with industry guidelines and will learn Good Publication Practices, and have the ability to apply those to key learnings while developing highly visible projects.
