2021 Top Courses & Webinars

Have you started setting your goals for 2022?

If you haven't already, you will need to start thinking about them soon. Just don't forget to give yourself some flexibility!

I'm currently looking at the following continuing education goals:

• Completing the RAPS Medical Regulatory Writing bundle.

• Continue learning Portuguese.

However, unlike these last two years, I'm not planning to invest as much in learning. My goal is to practice what I have learned as much as possible.

Still, continuing education (CE) is a must for an independent professional like me. Therefore, I will likely attend a few events and take several courses.

If you're looking for recommendations for your 2022 CE goals, here are the 10 best courses/webinars that I took in 2021:

• Cite It Like You Mean It (AMWA)

• Don't Believe Everything You See, Hear, or Read — The Art of Critical Thinking (AMWA)

• Drugs, Alcohol, and Fentanyl — Interpreting for Chemical Dependency Patients (NITA)

• How to Write Medical Reports Clearly and Effectively* (IFMiL)

• How to Write a Scientific Article** (Fundación Dr. Antoni Esteve)

• Interindividual Variability in Pharmacokinetics** (TREMÉDICA)

• Intermediate Medical Writing — Investigational Applications (RAPS)

• Introductory Medical Writing

• Plain Language and Translation** (AAIT)

• The Power of "No" — Self-Confidence for Translators and Interpreters (ATA)

Additionally, I completed the following programs:

• Master's in Medical Translation (AulaSIC)

• Medical Interpreting Certificate (MITS)

• Medical Writing Essential Skills Certificate (AMWA)

• Memsource User Certification (Memsource)

• Develop Your Writing Skills (LinkedIn Learning)

• Introduction to Biomedical Imaging (The University of Queensland)

Let me know if you have any CE suggestions that I could benefit from.

Happy Holidays!
