Lori Alexander, a fellow member of the Scientific Communication SIG, asked me to forward this information to you. Lori is also a member of the American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) and the Educational Coordinator for the Florida Chapter of AMWA. In her words:

I want to invite STC SciCom SIG members to our AMWA chapter conference at the end of February. Our annual conference will be held 27-28 February in Orlando, Florida, and features an outstanding program of three hour workshops, short sessions, and special lectures:

  • Workshops: Correlation and Regression Analyses, Writing Clinical Study Reports, Patient Education Materials, and Medical Terminology
  • Short Sessions: Job Hunting Tips, Is Freelancing Right for You?, Covering Medical Meetings, Handling Journal Supplements
  • Special Lectures: Plain Language and National Patient Safety Goals

For the past few years, the Florida Chapter conferences have been very successful, with outstanding faculty and great networking opportunities. Last year, we collaborated with the STC Orlando Chapter and had some STC members serve as speakers. While we didn't collaborate this year, we enjoy meeting STC members and think that networking between the two associations offers benefits to all.

For more details on the conference, visit the AMWA Florida Chapter website.
