Where are you getting your medical information? From social media? From anecdotal experiences of individuals or groups? Those sources can be inaccurate, unreliable and filled with rumor. We’ve been in evidence-based medical dissemination for twenty-five years. We know what it takes to get a medical paper published. We worked with the CDC for 10 years providing training webinars on communicating medical information effectively. One of our go-to faculty was Barbara Gastel, MD MPH, the Director of the Science Journalism Graduate Program at Texas A&M University. She shares with us how medical editing works – the crucial process that ensures the accuracy, clarity, and effectiveness of medical communications, from research papers to health professional education to patient information leaflets.
