Blog! The best thing to happen!

Blogging is just superb! It’s really a blessing for so many who could not get hands-on training with writing.

For me I see it in this way. I wanted to be a medical writer. After attending interviews in clinical research industry I learnt that you could not get in without experience. Whoa... If nobody is gonna take in freshers how are the freshers ever gonna gain experience? Never mind I said and carried on until I earned myself a job as a fresher and luckily the profile given to me was all abou… Continue

I'm currently working on a Creative magazine concept specially dedicated to serve Doctors & Medical Community.
Here in this mag we are addressing the doctors as a creative being, trying to make them more socially responsible as well as addressing their problems.
Here we publish stories, poetry, photography, artwork and like these creative thing for doctors, I mean most of the time their own creative work.
They can raise their voice against any issue they are facing and we try to make them realize, how important their work is for humanity through the medium of stories and poems etc.
At the same time they are free to write about their personal experiences, research & latest happenings around Medical World.

Your career profile is very much impressive.
It would be great to see your contribution in it in terms of personal experience, any case study, research news, etc

I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.

Thans & Regards,

I noted your post on Dr. Singh's wall about MW courses and responded. I am sending you the same info (which was also posted in my discussions on this site) I am a medical writer--also completing my final year in the MS Biomedical Writing program at Univ of the Sci in Philadelphia (online). See the message to Dr. Singh, below, a credible program taught by reputable instructors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes--there is a 12-15 week program taught by two medical writers signing up students right now. the regulatory program began in oct, and the marketing writing program begins in november. I am getting into the next regulatory program when it starts which will be soon. they will train you, re-write your resume, get you published and get you a job.
Here is the contact info, please tell Dr. Dodgson that Wanda Reese recommended you: http://emeraldpademelonpress.com/medicalwriting/resumesandtraining.html
Let me know what happens.

There are few clinical research institutes ,ICRI and CREMA which are running courses in MW (part-time courses,only sat) for 1 yr .I have no idea about the online courses but according to me you can benefit more by a parttime course as you get to meet people ur kind and that helps a lot professionally. Hope this information will be of some help to you.
Best wishes
