Session 2 Track 2: Growing Beyond the Page: Building Skills, Influence, and Leadership in Medical Writing
Session Chair(s)
Michelle Linggi, PhD
Medical Writing Manager, Trilogy Medical Writing & Consulting, United States
As AI takes on tasks that have traditionally helped early-career medical writers learn their craft, how do we ensure they still develop the judgment and skills needed to lead complex scientific content? This session introduces an apprenticeship-based training framework that combines observation, guided practice, discussion, feedback, and gradual independence. Attendees will explore practical ways to preserve critical developmental experiences while embracing AI-enabled workflows and preparing medical writers to critically evaluate content, exercise scientific judgment, and become confident strategic content and process owners.
Learning Objective :
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Identify the developmental experiences that may be lost when Al performs tasks traditionally assigned to early-career medical writers
- Apply an apprenticeship-based training model that uses observation, guided practice, discussion-based learning, and gradual independence to develop early-career medical writers as strategic content and process owners
