Commentaries, op-eds and editorials written by those on the frontlines of biomedicine play a critical role in elevating the public understanding of science and medicine. As physicians-in-training and scientists-in-the making, you have the power to educate, inform and inspire lay audiences, policy makers and other influencers. If you have an interest in expressing your views through op-eds, perspective articles and letters to the editor, this session will provide you with valuable tips and insights.We invite you to a one-hour workshop with STAT’s opinion page editor, Patrick Skerrett, who will discuss best practices in opinion writing.

Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP here by April 11 if you plan to attend.
