About this course
Ultimate Guide to Medical Writing is a comprehensive bundle of 17 self-paced online course modules designed to equip healthcare professionals and science graduates with the skills to become medical writers. Developed and taught by Virginia Chachati, a UK-registered pharmacist with experience writing for the NHS, WHO, YouTube Health, and other major healthcare organisations, the bundle covers everything from foundational medical writing skills to advanced marketing, portfolio development, and career management.
The bundle includes 17 individual course modules spanning medical writing fundamentals, copywriting, regulatory writing, SEO, LinkedIn optimisation, portfolio creation, interview preparation, freelance client acquisition, financial management, video scripting, design skills with Canva, and health information writing for patients and the public. Two modules (Storytelling for Medical Writers and Health Information Writing for Patients) are marked as "coming soon" but are included.
Each module combines self-paced video content with practical assignments. You receive detailed written feedback from Virginia Chachati on your work, including feedback on your portfolio, CV, pitch, website, and writing tests. The course also provides email and direct message templates, networking resources, and access to an exclusive community (though the page notes the dedicated community is no longer active — feedback indicated it was not needed). Access is lifetime, with all future updates included at no extra cost. You can access the course via the Thinkific app on mobile or tablet as well as the web platform.
