Help write the future of healthcare. Our Medical Writing and Editing Training Certificate program is designed for professionals who want to work more effectively with complex medical and scientific content across different audiences.

The program builds practical capability across medical copyediting, substantive editing, research ethics, data presentation, and audience-specific writing, with the flexibility to focus through writing concentration options or a Regulatory Writing microcertificate.

As Anuradha Bangaley, Regulatory Affairs Manager at UChicago, explains, “Getting the language right is a key part to improving patient understanding, smoothing regulatory reviews, and keeping studies on track.” Her experience working across clinical trials and regulatory environments reflects how clearly written medical content directly influences outcomes.

DeLene Beeland, instructor in the certificate program, highlights the shift in professional scope that can follow: “I went from primarily writing articles to working with different formats and audiences,” pointing to the broader range of work available to trained medical communicators.

Barbara Gastel, MD, MPH, a leading voice in the field and program instructor, notes, “It’s a field that rewards continuous learning,” underscoring the importance of building skills that can adapt alongside evolving scientific and regulatory standards.

Participants also benefit from direct exposure to industry perspectives through instructor-led insights, peer interaction, and opportunities to engage with a wider community of professionals working across medical writing, editing, and communications.
