MODULE 6: Writing & reviewing your own work for publication & ERAS
In the words of Dr. Francis Crick (Noble Laureate, who reposed the double helix structure of the DNA molecule), “There is no form of prose more difficult to understand and more tedious to read than the average scientific paper”. Writing a succinct and lucid medical report for internal use and for peer-reviewed publication and presentation, requires underrating the art and science of good academic writing as well much practice under the guidance of expert authors.
The Scientific and Medical Writing lecture series is designed to healthcare students and practitioners, using lectures and published (peer-reviewed) medical manuscripts to teach the fundamentals of medical writing, editing, and medical communication needed to enter the profession and to succeed as skilled medical communicator.
