A Retreat for Biomedical Communicators


April 10-13, 2005

Pacific Grove, California

 


Sponsored by the Pacific Southwest and Northern California Chapters of the American Medical Writers Association

 

Three days of small-group classes, fireside forums, and provocative conversations with writers, editors, scientists, and other biomedical communicators.

AMWA Core Curriculum courses and a rich program of noncredit seminars.

Held in the secluded meeting facilities of the Asilomar Conference Center, between the towering Monterey pines and the pounding Pacific surf.

Within a short drive of Asilomar are all the attractions of the Monterey Peninsula, including Pacific Grove's winter home of the monarch butterfly, historic Monterey, the posh 17-Mile Drive and Pebble Beach, fascinating Carmel, beautiful Point Lobos State Park, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and majestic Big Sur.
