The American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) promotes high standards in medical writing and editing, and provides a forum for professionals engaged in communicating biomedical and health information. It offers an extensive continuing education program, interactive meetings with informative presentations, the AMWA Journal, and valuable opportunities for professional development and collegial interaction. The AMWA Curriculum programs are extensive continuing education programs for professional communicators in the medical and allied scientific fields. The core curriculum program offers an opportunity to improve communication skills in five disciplines: editing and writing (EW), educators (ED), freelance (FL), pharmaceutical (PH), and public relations/advertising/marketing (PRAM). The advanced (ADV) curriculum program is designed for those who have earned core curriculum certificates or have a minimum of five years’ experience as biomedical communicators. Completion of the requirements for the core curriculum program or the advanced curriculum program is recognized with a certificate.
