We at the American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) Southwest Chapter invite you to join us for another enlightening webinar.
Sergio Lozano, MD, MWC®, will present “How to work with authors whose first language isn’t English.”
Date: Thursday, March 3rd, 2022
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm CST
Where: Zoom
Abstract
English has become the lingua franca of science. This fact has forced scientists worldwide to describe their research and discuss their results in a language that is not theirs. This clearly affects the communication of science because publication depends largely on English language proficiency.
Editing, proofreading, and translation services have rapidly grown in recent years. Medical writers play an important role in this niche. It is important to work with second language research authors to solve their language and publication problems. This webinar will present the current situation, Dr. Lozano’s work with these authors, and what to do to help.
To learn more about Dr. Lozano and this virtual presentation, please visit amwasw.org. Then, register today on our events page.
