Thorne's Better Medical Writing by Stephen Lock Pdf
More doctors than ever before are writing scientific papers. For many this is misery. They have had no training for writing and little in scientific method - and often their main incentive is the need to have published a few papers if they are to get a good job. This book gives practical advice on selecting subjects for a paper, studying the published work, and where to send the finished article. Additional chapters advise on the md thesis, writing for money, and the preparation of lectures.

Clinician's Guide to Medical Writing by Robert B. Taylor Pdf
This book is for the clinician who wants to write. It is for the physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who sees patients and who wants to contribute to the medical l- erature. You may be an assistant professor aspiring to p- motion or a clinician in private practice who seeks the personal enrichment that writing can bring. If you are new to medical writing or even if you have been the author of some articles or book chapters and seek to improve your abilities, this book can help you. Who am I that I can make this assertion and write this book, both fairly presumptuous? Here’s my reasoning. As a practicing physician, writing has been my avocation; unlike the authors of many other writing books, I am not a journal editor. Over 14 years in private practice and 26 years in a- demic medicine, I have written all the major models described in this book: review articles, case reports, edito- als, letters to the editor, book reviews, book chapters, edited books, authored books, and reports of clinical research st- ies. Most have been published. Not all. Perhaps my most signi?cant quali?cation is not that I have managed to p- duce a lengthy curriculum vitae. In my opinion, what is more important for you, the reader, is that I have made all the errors. That’s right, the mistakes.

Using data from a new corpus of contemporary American medical texts, Vihl analyzes model expressions such as may, must, and possibly as they are used in medical English. She thinks that knowing how modal expressions are distributed and their pragmatic functions in the texts can help when teaching professional writing to non-native speakers, and clarify how language is institutionally situated.

Medical Writing for Smart People by Bonny McClain Pdf
Writing professionally for almost 20 years, I appreciate the nuance of different aspects of medical writing. I define a medical writer as developing content about the practice of clinical medicine, clinical research, or the health policy and economics influencing decisions at the point of care. I distinguish the role of a scientific writer as being more directed toward a lay audience. Personally unable to claim success at nailing 8th-grade level a la Flesch-Kincaid writing, I stopped trying after a client asked me to describe a ureter based on its resemblance to spaghetti. And then I was subsequently fired for the apparent important lack of the marketable skill. Or when challenged to write National Institute of Health (NIH) Congressional Justifications for government funding informed the writing had to be 8th grade level or it couldn't go to congress for review. Yes. Really. My original perspective for this book was along the lines of Anthony Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential--a raw, informative, but not always pretty account of the medical writer's daily life. Thinking of the repercussions of telling such a substantive story I recall an Anne Lamott quote, "You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better."
This is a brief guidebook on Creative Writing for Clinicians. It bridges the gap between technical writing for the medical peer-reviewed literature and creative writing.
