Basic Medical Writing Course for the Generative AI Era

The IR Engineer Education Institute is holding a seminar to cultivate the 'self-checking ability' required now more than ever as the use of generative AI advances. The seminar systematically organizes the factors that make Japanese ambiguous and the basic rules of writing. Through 7 practical proofreading exercises, participants will learn the QC (Quality Control) perspective and improvement procedures for documents.

In pharmaceutical development and the medical/pharmaceutical fields, there is a demand for accurate and unambiguous document creation, such as clinical trial-related documents, application materials, and medical papers. On the other hand, Japanese has the characteristic of being easily ambiguous, and systematic understanding and training are essential to maintain clarity, consistency, and conciseness. With the recent spread of generative AI, the importance of 'self-checking ability (QC perspective)' is increasing.
