Publication of scientific and clinical research is fundamental in ensuring that findings are communicated to the scientific and medical community to ultimately help improve patient’s lives. Scientific communication works to lead, organize, and develop the dissemination of quality and timely publications. The course will not only provide an overview of publication planning but also go into specific details on each element of the work process. You should have a good understanding of the core elements of publication development and a desire to expand your skill set relevant to strategic publication planning. This will be a highly interactive course with ample time for discussion and questions.
