¿Why this one Course?

As researchers and public health practitioners, we are professional communicators. We must communicate about our science in writing and orally. But many (most?) of us don’t enjoy writing or speaking. Writing is often a difficult part of our job. Many of us dread giving talks. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this course, we will explore elements of scientific writing and oral presentations. Most of the course will focus on manuscripts and writing clearly. We will provide structure and guidance to enhance your productivity. And we will conclude the course with a session giving effective oral presentations.

Program objectives

1) To improve participants’ research questions, providing greater clarity and precision.
2) To improve the clarity of participants’ scientific manuscripts, focusing on the needs of the reader.
3) To improve participants’ writing-related time management.
