In addition to our successful certificates in medical writing and editing, regulatory writing, and clinical trials, we are adding a new certificate in healthcare communications beginning April 2024. 

This new program offers training in the most prevalent specialized writings of health communications, patient education, promotional and advertising. These areas have seen tremendous growth as the need to communicate effectively with specialized professional segments and the public has increased.
