        Cheers to the entire team of Turacoz for designing such a beneficial course of “Medical writing – Medical communications”. Previously I have no idea about the role of a medical writer and what medical communications mean. Through this course I could learn about new software’s like Endnote, Veeva platform etc. I must say the course was informative and we can get good experience by handling the subjective assignments. I would like to thank all the course directors, instructors and course designers from the bottom of my heart. This is a course one can look upon if you are a beginner.

        The content of the course is excellent. One thing that really impressed me was that the content was based on the personal experience of the team and was not just a collection of some bookish notes. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and were patient enough to solve our doubts and queries. My overall experience was good and I would definitely recommend this course to someone who is interested in learning about medical writing

        Certificate course on ‘Medical Communications: Medical writing for Medical Affairs’ was a great opportunity to learn about the medical communications field. After my PhD and 2 years of postdoctoral research, I was looking for a transition from academia. Through this course I realized that medical affairs can be an exciting career option to use one’s scientific knowledge to bridge the gap between the pharma industry and HCPs and other stakeholders including the general public. The trainers did a fantastic job and the course content was perfectly designed to suit a wide STEM audience.

        Sumedha Kondekar

        The course Medical Writing for Medical Affairs covered all the spots required for a newbie, I believe. The speakers had a very realistic and positive approach to teaching which is much needed to know about a field, how it is thriving, its scope, the skillset required and the value it holds. The assignments and the classes gave us an insight into a medical writer’s work, and the exposure was worth it. The management and guidance have been great. The best and most genuine platform for people to learn from. On a serious note, I am even more inspired to be a medical writer than before. It is given me the right kind of motivation to pursue this as my career.
