DOROTHY L. TENGLER
Medical Writer
Combining the art of writing with the science of medicine
http://exclusive.multibriefs.com/author/dorothy-l.-tengler
My services include manuscripts, patient case studies, abstracts, posters, slide decks, patient information materials, continuing medical education (CME), scientific summaries, video scripts, marketing materials, and training materials for pharmaceutical representatives
I learned the secrets of great writing completing my undergraduate and graduate work and then writing for top pharmaceutical companies and award-winning medical communication companies; now I offer those skills to all my clients.
I have experience as a lab technician, paramedic, emergency medical technician (EMT), and have earned credits towards becoming a physician’s assistant.
I have a flair for training materials.
