Medical Communications Exposure and Education Among Medical, Nursing, and Pharmacy Students
This research was undertaken to address a common perception among researchers that authors of scientific manuscripts do not require medical writing support. The objective was to determine how much exposure and training graduate students in the healthcare professions receive in relation to medical writing, medical communications, and best practices in medical publications. The authors' analysis of curricula of the top medical, nursing, and pharmacy schools in the United States is presented in the poster.
