Years of Industry Experience
As a medical writer and editor for over two decades, I understand the challenges you face.
Although AI has been around for a while, in November 2022, most of us were blindsided when ChatGPT came on the scene. I even held off from using it initially, hoping things would just go back to how they always were. Can you relate?
Since then, I have thought long and hard as a medical writer and editor about the ways in which AI will affect our field. If used correctly, AI can become an invaluable tool with which we can co-create—there is no need to fear it, as long as we get on board and learn how to use it.
That’s why I felt compelled to create this course, combining my years of industry experience and my recent efforts to evaluate precisely how to implement AI into a medical writing and editing workflow.
This course will tell you what you absolutely need to know, focusing on practical applications, while not wasting your time with complex information that you don’t need to know. There’s a lot of complex information out there, but I’ve distilled it down for you.
In case we haven’t met, I’m Dr Emma Hitt Nichols, and I have a 20-year history of helping hundreds of people with a science background (eg, MDs, PhDs, and PharmDs) transition into the field of medical writing. Because of this, many of them have been able to work from home and have been able to overcome the burnout that so often accompanies clinical and research careers.
In 2003, I started the HittList medical writing jobs email, sending it out every week for 20 years. As a result, I also have a unique insight into the ebb and flow of medical writing jobs and their specific requirements. What’s more, I have an up-front view of thousands of medical writing projects that flow into my company each year.
I’ve been privileged to work with many amazing medical writing and editing professionals in different courses over the years.
Here's what some of them have to say
Emma is a veteran in the medical writing/editing community who has been providing value (both free and paid) for several years. Her course gave me greater clarity and a better perspective regarding my preferences in the field. Her mentorship, expertise, and the confidence one gains to solicit clients of their own, are far more valuable than the price of her course(s)
—Petal S. Veterinarian
Emma is a great teacher and mentor. Her course was extremely helpful in getting me started in my new career. As a result of the course, I was able to successfully transition from clinical practice to full-time freelance work in a short amount of time.
—Xiomara S. MD
Whenever anyone asks me how to get started in medical writing, I suggest taking Emma’s course. The course itself is tremendously helpful in learning the basics and business of medical writing and generating writing samples that can eventually lead to jobs. Other medical writing courses are out there, but few, if any, give this opportunity. Additionally, in taking the course, you become part of a medical writing community to exchange ideas and ask questions. In the past year, I’ve been able to bring in more income than I had hoped for doing a job that I love, and it all began with Emma’s training!
—Brigid S. PhD
The Learn AMA Style/Become a Medical Editor course is a one-stop source to learn and hone your medical editing skills. Emma covers medical editing, AMA style, and running your freelance editing business in an in-depth manner. The course also covers a burgeoning medical writing field, medical writing support services (MWSS). This one-of-a-kind course has many practical examples that set it apart from other programs out there. The course has helped me get high-paying clients in the MWSS field (an avenue I would not have explored if not for this course).
—Kalpana S. PhD
I really can’t quantify the value of Emma’s course. I gained so much knowledge about medical writing, started my new career with confidence, and had paying clients within weeks of finishing the course!
—Lindsay G. PharmD
Learn AMA Style/Become a Medical Editor course is most likely my best investment this year, and it’s still only spring. The course provides a great overview of the latest edition of AMA Manual of Style, addressing the most important and most common issues one can face in medical editing. On top of that, Emma has a whole module on how to set up and run your freelance business. That alone makes the course worth joining. It is a great journey, from big picture aspects to the smallest nuances of punctuation. This is the best editing course out there, period.
—Roland L. PhD

Regulatory writing is a niche within the medical writing industry. Many of the techniques in this course will apply to regulatory writing. However, Dr. Hitt Nichols is not a regulatory writer, so use cases won’t directly focus on regulatory writing. The course should still be helpful to regulatory writers though.
Use cases will tend to focus on the following types of writing and activities: researching the medical literature and creating outlines; writing news pieces, manuscripts, needs assessments, press releases, educational materials, and feature articles; as well as creating PowerPoint slide decks and writing slide notes. Also covered are editing and proofreading with a focus on implementing the AMA Manual of Style.
