Advance Your Skills in This Rewarding Field
Course Registration
Once you are accepted into your program, expect to be contacted by your program manager for course advising. With certificate courses starting every Monday, it's essential to register for your first course at least one week in advance—no later than the Thursday before classes begin. If you're not ready to commit to the full certificate program, you have the flexibility to take a single course and explore the curriculum first. In the rare case of a course cancellation, you'll be notified by the Friday before the scheduled course start date.
Earn Credentials in Medical Writing and Editing
Participants who successfully complete the entire online program are awarded credentials in Medical Writing and Editing certified by the University of Chicago. Upon meeting all certificate requirements, students receive a certificate of completion, and a digital course badge is awarded at the successful completion of each individual course.
