Medical Writing Fellowship Program

In 2018, our legacy company Impact Pharmaceutical Services launched a Medical Writing Fellowship Program. We are proud to say that this program continues to this day.

The Medical Writing Fellowship Program is for professionals looking to gain experience in the medical/regulatory writing field. With an emphasis on mentoring and hands on education, fellows are exposed to a variety of regulatory documents related to the clinical development of investigational and marketed drugs and biologics. The goal of the Fellowship Program is to successfully train entry-level medical writers, and completion of the program often permits fellows to be eligible for permanent hire at Syner‑G. Many former fellows have become successful medical writers at the company and are currently much-valued members of our team.

Program Description

This full-time fellowship program is fully remote, spans approximately 9 months (from March to December each year), and hosts 2 to 4 fellows per class. Key dates for the fellowship application process are as follows:
