Medical writers are professionals in the therapy development and promotion fields. Although respect for this profession has increased over the past two decades, there are still islands of prejudice that inhibit the accomplishment of quality production and timeliness of document creation and publishing. This session will explore these problems and propose solutions to allow negotiating those obstacles. The session will also explore ways in which the medical writer can identify and properly handle discoveries of potential site fraud or misconduct, giving the writer the tools to identify it and how to deal with it while meeting deliverable timelines and ensuring GCP compliance.

Learning Objective :

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  • Maintain confidence as a professional in the field
  • Recognize obstacles that prevent writers from keeping to schedules
  • Avoid risky shortcuts that undermine quality
