    Dr. Swapna Satheendran

    I felt immensely comfortable in learning MW via Turacoz, in such a way that I didn't miss anything of the industry by every word of every faculty member, but it's the root unseen, evidently, made these flowers blossom, Dr Narmatha Singh. Just thanks would be inadequate

    Samuel Ericson

    It is good in the sense that Turacoz helps to kick off ones freelance career. I guess more commitment and effort is needed from the candidate also. To have a more fruitful outcome, one needs to be trained and assessed on all kinds of medical writing. Though I appreciate the fact that Turacoz does a decent work for the short course. It was an interesting journey with Turacoz. I realized my strengths and weak points in medical writing. Thank you for the trainings and practical tips. My best wishes to the Turacoz team
