Narrating Expert Opinions: A Guide for Medical Writers

Are you curious about expert opinion papers and how they fit into medical writing? These publications bring together unique insights from real-life clinical practice and expert interpretation of available published literature, to provide a fresh perspective on a specific topic and encourage wider discussion and innovation. They are distinct from other article types including consensus papers, guidelines, and white papers, and can be particularly useful when navigating complex or rapidly evolving topics.

During the session, we will:

  • Clarify what expert opinion papers are, and how they are distinct from other publication types
  • Discuss their strategic value, whether as a standalone article or as part of a larger publication plan
  • Provide practical guidance on planning, writing, and publishing expert opinion papers successfully

This webinar provides an opportunity to broaden your writing skills and explore the potential of expert opinion papers in your work.
