Essential Writing, Communication and Narrative Skills for Medical Scientists Before and After the COVID Era

This book provides essential skills for medical scientists navigating the new communication landscape shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed the landscape of medical research communication. In the wake of this global crisis, various online journals and magazines have prioritized the rapid publication of relevant studies, significantly altering the traditional acceptance process for scientific works. The shift from in-person Scientific Congresses to digital platforms such as webinars, streaming events, and virtual conferences has become the new norm, indicating a lasting change in how research is disseminated and discussed.

In this evolving environment, there is a pressing need for a systematic approach to medical communication that acknowledges the changes brought about by the pandemic. The future landscape will likely see a decline in conventional conferences that were once staples of the scientific community, replaced by an increase in digital formats. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of how researchers present their findings and engage with their peers in a post-COVID-19 world.

Essential Writing, Communication and Narrative Skills for Medical Scientists Before and After the COVID Era serves as a crucial resource for navigating this transformation. Drawing inspiration from the insights of renowned chemist Michael Faraday, the book emphasizes the importance of effective communication in scientific success. With contributions from leading experts, it addresses the need for a multidisciplinary approach to education and communication, making it an invaluable tool for scientists adapting to this new era of medical discourse.
