Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical research and education, the role of professional medical writers is increasingly being recognized. These professionals convey complicated medical knowledge obtained from medical research, clinical trials, and scientific publications to their peers. Maintaining scientific rigor and making sure that their work is understandable by the target audience are two competing priorities for medical writers. By following ethical norms, they may contribute to the improvement of medical practices and knowledge while upholding the scientific community’s confidence in their abilities for the betterment of healthcare and reliable evidence. The present paper discusses the role of professional medical writers and its related factors in healthcare.
