Can anyone recommend websites / books to improve pharma CW skills? I’m looking for something like “Hey Whipple” that are pharma-directed (if it exists). Thanks!

Doesn’t have to match “Hey Whipple” (or similar sources) in quality—just in the aim. :)

SC1 is right. Parts of the PI to pay attention to are sections 1,2,3,14 (the best stuff is in 14). Maybe 11, 12. Also note, many recent PIs have a Medication Guide for patients at the end. If you are writing for patients, then this is important.
Make friends with your medical person.
And most importantly: pharma writing has jargon, but the grammar rules, syntax and vocabulary are the same as plain English. Trust me.
Good luck!

Oh, look up the AP style for reference order: star dagger double dagger, ext. Learn how to annotate by getting the list of references and annotated version or have someone show you.

Additional Posts in Pharma and Health Advertising

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
