Interpersonal Skills in Medical Writing

As clinical researchers, we deal with many different people (some with very large egos and very little diplomacy) to prepare the documentation we are expected to write. This workshop will present and discuss the basic philosophy of the role of a medical writer in the social context. We will look at our role on a project team in terms of team dynamics as well as how we interact with people on a one-on-one basis. Real life examples (good and bad) and hands-on exercises followed by discussion will demonstrate how to use different approaches in different contexts to minimize interpersonal conflicts and overcome those that occur.
