What Former Program Participants Are Saying?

"Caroline delivered an excellent regulatory medical writing training. The course syllabus was well-structured and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to follow and highly informative. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and patience throughout the sessions, taking the time to address all types of questions with clarity and depth. Her breadth of knowledge in regulatory writing was evident and greatly enriched the learning experience. The platform she used for the training was effective and user-friendly, supporting smooth interaction and engagement. The discussion sessions were particularly valuable, allowing participants to explore topics in detail and clarify any uncertainties. Overall, this was a very well-conceived and executed training. With full commitment to the program, participants can gain a thorough understanding of regulatory medical writing.

Former Student

"After completing several online regulatory medical writing courses, I still felt unprepared to produce core regulatory documents—clinical study protocols, clinical study reports, and other CTD components—with the level of precision the field demands. Finding Caroline’s 12-week regulatory medical writing program was a turning point. The course is comprehensive, practical, and far more valuable than its price tag. You gain hands-on experience, insight from Caroline’s decade of expertise, and a clear, structured approach to every document type. The weekly office hours are especially helpful—every question is welcomed, and nothing is left vague or unanswered. Most importantly, Caroline herself is patient, thorough, kind, and refreshingly straightforward. If you're serious about becoming a regulatory medical writer and ready to put in the work for three months, this program is absolutely worth it."

Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions. I've got answers.

How much does it cost?

The cost of this 12-week program is a 1-time payment of $1297. You will have access to all content for the lifetime of the Ritchie Scientific Consulting Academy.

How much time will I need to commit to this program?

Expect to spend 5 to 10 hours per week. Some weeks will be a bit lighter than others.

By signing up for this program, you are not only committing to yourself that you will maximize the benefit you receive from the program, but you are also committing to your peers. Due to the interactive nature of this program, your dedication and participation are expected.

Do I have to complete all assignments to receive the certificate?

Yes! Each weekly discussion prompt and assignment will have a due date. For you to get the most out of this program, I recommend completing each discussion requirement and assignment by the due date.

However, I do realize that you're probably juggling this program with a full-time job, working toward a degree, and/or raising children. You will have an additional week after the official end of the program to complete any outstanding assignments to obtain your certificate.

When are the weekly office hours?

Once enrollment is closed, I'll reach out to all participants to find 2 time slots that will work during the week (I will aim to accommodate time zones of all participants). If you can't attend in person, office hours will be recorded and posted to rewatch. I will also be answering questions regularly throughout the week in our cohort community that you will be added to and via email.

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You will have access to all course materials beyond the end of the program and for the life of this website.

Can I get a refund if requested?

You can receive a 50% refund if requested in writing before the end of Week 6. Please note that you will no longer have access to any of the course materials after you are refunded.
