Medical Writing - Medical Writing Organizations

Medical Writing Organizations

Several professional organizations represent medical writers around the world. These include:

• American Medical Writers Association (AMWA)
• Australasian Medical Writers Association (AMWA)
• European Medical Writers Association (EMWA)
• Indian Medical Writers Association (IMWA).

These organizations provide a forum where medical writers meet and share knowledge and experience. They promote professional development and standards of documentation excellence, and help writers find career opportunities. All these organizations offer fundamental medical writing training.

Finally, though not a medical writing organization, the Drug Information Association (DIA) provides many resources, including training and career opportunities (via their job board) for medical writers. Also, the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia offers a master's degree in biomedical writing.
