TriloTalk

Humans communicate through stories and medical writers help teams crystallize the story out of the data: this is the essence of what they bring to the table. Join Julia Forjanic Klapproth, Senior Partner at Trilogy Writing & Consulting, and Eleanor Steele, a freelance consultant working as the Med Comms Mentor, for TriloTalk episode 39 where they explore the power of storytelling in medical writing and explain the PRISM framework, which is a useful system for medical writers to make each story hit the mark.

For TriloTalk episode 38, Lisa Chamberlain James, Senior Partner at Trilogy, and Sudipta Chakraborty, Head of Literacy & Plain Language Center of Excellence at Biogen, talk about how to use AI in the creation of lay summaries of clinical trial results. Scalability, change management, prompting, biases, realistic attitudes, and human involvement are all touched on so listen up! 

TriloTalk episode 37 focuses on a specific type of medical device, the drug-delivery system. Writing for drug-delivery systems is all about being fluent in two languages – drugs and devices. Julia Forjanic Klapproth, Senior Partner at Trilogy, Laura Collada, Senior Medical Writing Manager at Trilogy, and Raquel Billiones, Director of Medical Writing at AstraZeneca, talk about this and what medical writers need to understand when crafting these regulatory documents.  

Clinical trial transparency is a delicate balance of getting the right data to the right resources at the right time. Senior Partner Lisa Chamberlain James sits down with the President of Holtzople Consulting, Julie Holtzople, to discuss how to do just that. They discuss standardizing information for researchers, building trust, advice for best practices, and whether all this transparency is legally mandated – or simply the right thing to do.  

The demand for experienced medical writers is outpacing the availability of experienced writers. In TriloTalk episode 35, Julia Forjanic Klapproth, Senior Partner at Trilogy, and Kim Jochman, Senior Director of Medical Writing at Merck, raise awareness of two new essential AMWA resources: the apprentice program framework and the job leveling framework. As members of the workstreams who developed these, Julia and Kim bring insights and the rationale from behind the scenes. Tune in and learn about these important initiatives for the medical writing community.
