I learned a lot in the course
“As someone who had very little knowledge about AI assisted writing, I learned a lot about AI writing in the Introduction to Medical Writing and Artificial Intelligence course. From limitations, prompts and how to work on the AI generated data. I learned that AI has its own limitations and it is still up to us to develop our own creativity and skills. Limitations aside, AI can still be useful by helping us overcome writer’s block or when we just wanted to paraphrase are statements in a manner or tone we desire it to be.”

Offered a clear, balanced perspective on the strengths and limitations of AI
The "Introduction to Medical Writing and Artificial Intelligence course was helpful to me in coming up with effective ways to use AI in my writing practice, while also offering a clear, balanced perspective on the strengths and limitations of AI. Not only did Michelle draw attention to these areas, but she also offered practical solutions to use AI responsibly and in a way that helps medical writers continue to refine their skills. As a healthcare professional, I found Michelle's standards for adhering to regulatory requirements, fact-checking procedures, ethics, and transparency very professional and validating."

Significantly enhanced my knowledge and writing skills
I have now completed 3 of your online courses which were exceptionally well organized and have significantly enhanced my knowledge and writing skills. I am primarily a health professions educator and researcher but hope to branch out to do a bit of freelance medical writing and editing. Introduction to Medical Writing and Artificial Intelligence has been exceptionally helpful in my capacity as an educator. Almost immediately, I was able to discern content submitted by students that was generated by AI, rather than actually written by students. I quickly changed assignments to require students to share a personal example so essays submitted weren't entirely composed by AI. When the syllabus for the course I'm currently teaching was published, I didn't include anything about the use of AI. The next edition will definitely have guidelines about how to effectively use AI and how to be transparent about the use of AI when completing assignments. I believe AI will enhance the careers of future physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and other health professionals, so we should be teaching students how to use AI effectively with honesty and integrity. Thank you for sharing your expertise and doing a thorough job of including current research on a rapidly evolving subject.

Your industry expert
Who I am, and why I want to help you succeed.
Hi there – I’m Michelle Guillemard, founder of Health Writer Hub (you can read more about me here).
When I launched Health Writer Hub in 2014, my aim was to create a best-practice resource to empower health writers to develop their skills, grow their careers and improve the quality of health content on the web. As the industry evolves, my courses evolve. That’s why I’m so excited about AI. I see the tremendous potential of this tool to help health & medical writers become more productive while still maintaining quality and accuracy in health communication. I’m passionate about helping new and experienced medical writers navigate the AI landscape with confidence, future proof their skills and stay relevant!
In my new Introduction to Medical Writing and Artificial Intelligence course, I introduce you to the AI landscape and show you why AI is nothing to be feared. Understanding how to use AI writing tools to their full potential is the key to creating the high-quality medical content of the future.
If you're ready to embrace AI and explore the new age of medical writing with me, Introduction to Medical Writing and Artificial Intelligence is the course for you.
My teaching method
I teach this course, and all my courses, through a combination of audio lectures (podcast style) and text resources. I also offer a range of video content, including bonus webinars and regular student interviews.
After experimenting with different combinations over the years and listening to student feedback, I am confident that delivering lectures in both audio AND text format is the most effective way for you to learn about health writing.
Consume the content however you like:
- Listen and read the transcripts at the same time
- Listen and take your own notes
- Listen away from your computer
- Read the transcripts only.
Many students have told me they enjoy listening to the lectures while driving, walking, hiking, running or cleaning the house! You're free to do whatever works best for you.
