Types of Medical Writing

In my previous post, I have given an idea about “Medical Writing” and now I will discuss about the various types of Medical Writings. There are two types of medical writing as far as pharmaceutical industry is concerned they are Regulatory Medical Writing and Educational Medical Writing.

It is a well-known fact that new drugs, biologics and devices need to get by regulatory agencies and for this purpose pharmaceutical companies have to submit various documents. These regulatory documents can be very large and formulaic in their nature. Clinical study records, clinical study protocols, consent forms with due information to patient, brochures for investigators, and document summary (e.g. CTD format i.e. Common Technical Documentation.) These documents discuss and summarize all the data collected by a manufacturer collects in the process of research and development of a new product or improving an existing product.

Educational Medical Writing is concerned with the creation of documents regarding biologics, drugs and devices for the benefit of general audiences and professionals involved in health care like Doctors, physiotherapist, dentists, etc. These documents include sales literatures for new drugs, presentation of data for medical conferences articles in medical journals for the benefit of Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and paramedical professionals, and programs and long lasting materials aimed Continuing medical education or continuing education.

Irrespective of the type of medical writing you are going to do, the prerequisite is sound knowledge of grammar and punctuation. Before taking up to medical writing, you may please brush up your grammar and punctuation knowledge.
