    TESTIMONIALS

    Cheers to the entire team of Turacoz for designing such a beneficial course of “Medical writing – Medical communications”. Previously I had no idea about the role of a medical writer and what medical communications mean. 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

    Dr. A. Ramya Deepika

    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 has given me the right kind of motivation to pursue this as my career

    Fatema Fakhri

    I learned a lot about medical communications through the course in Medical Writing for Medical Affairs at Turacoz Healthcare Solutions. All the trainers were well-versed in whatever topics they taught. Now I have a good understanding of the field and I have the confidence to face the job market

    Pooja Makkar

    The course is conducted by professionals in the field and that helped me get an idea of the kind/quality of work that is expected from medical writers. It was also a good opportunity to interact with those already in this field and to get feedback from them on my work. I appreciate the effort put in to make all this material available to us and the encouragement that came our way to try things that were new to us. Overall, it has been a great experience and I look forward to applying all that I have learnt in my work going forward. Thank you once again

    Tushna Dayal

    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

    Dr. Divakaran Thananjayan

    I am a consultant dermatologist and I joined the certificate course in freelance medical content writing in October 2020. This online course covered almost all aspects of medical content writing and the course instructors were very cordial and helpful. I am glad that I could be a part of this programme and I sincerely thank Turacoz for imparting knowledge and also for giving practical wisdom to kickstart freelance writing career. This course helped me to explore more about medical content writing and freelance job opportunities

    Dr. Jyothy K

    Dr. Brijina

    First of all, I would like to thank the whole team of Turacoz, especially all faculty who have all been instrumental in training me. All of my queries were resolved by them. Each and every session was very informative. I acquired theoretical as well as practical understanding about Medical Writing through these lectures, and whole-heartedly thank my teachers for their guidance. Additionally, the MCQs and subjective assignments that were given after every session, helped me to understand the concepts better

    Aarti Thakur

    I would like to thank all the mentors of Turacoz Healthcare who helped us throughout the course with their share of knowledge and experience in Medical writing. Me as an individual gained core knowledge about this field and how progressive it would be if I get a chance to explore and make this as a part of my career. Also, we got some extra time to submit our work as being new in this field and going through the sessions and understanding them in depth, all the team of mentors were readily active for us to clear our doubts even on weekends and in any time of the day. I would like to specially thank Dr Namrata Singh for motivating us in the last session and telling us how far we can test our intelligence
