Join four best-selling medical writers for a live (online) panel discussion, followed by a Q&A, about ethical dilemmas they have faced and how they have used creative writing to dig deeper into considerations about these issues. This event is free and open to the public.

This is a live event, but RSVP even if you can't make it, as the discussion will be recorded and we will send you a link to watch later.
