PharmedOut - The Art of Medical Writing

"The Art of Medical Writing", featuring Susanna Dodgson, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Writing at the University of Sciences of Philadelphia. Medical writers often work anonymously for the healthcare industry, primarily for pharmaceutical companies. " A competent medical writer can make $100,000 or 200,000 a year," says Dr. Dodgson, who advocates for medical writers to be given credit for the articles that they ghostwrite for academics.

PharmedOut (http://www.pharmedout.org)/ is an independent project funded through the Attorney General Consumer and Prescriber Education grant program that educates physicians on how pharmaceutical companies influence prescribing.
