Unsung heroes: The medical writer’s role in clinical trials
The medical writer is heavily involved in clinical trials from A to Z and even beyond. Although we are not in the frontline, our role is nevertheless crucial as we develop most of the documents needed for trial start up, conduct, close out, and reporting (see Fig 1). This issue of Medical Writing is dedicated to the unsung heroes and heroines of clinical trials, medical writing professionals and scientists who help make clinical trials happen without visiting a clinic or interacting with a single patient.
