Abstract

The AMWA Educational Workshop Leadership Development for Medical Writers is an annual conference offering aimed at equipping medical writers with critical leadership skills amid evolving landscapes. The workshop is designed to address the gap in training programs for medical writers that traditionally focus on technical skills by fostering the leadership qualities necessary to drive projects and effectively manage change within teams and organizations. Overall, the workshop aims to develop the ability to lead as a medical writer (either with or without official reporting line authority) and to inspire teams to achieve common goals and navigate organizational changes successfully. This initiative is vital in preparing medical writers to meet the dynamic demands of the industry and contribute significantly to their organizations’ success.
