Does anyone have experience with Medical Writing Certificate Program at UC San Diego?

I live in Europe and have an MSc in Molecular Biology and 5 years of experience as a laboratory scientist. I want to transition to medical writing, but since I am a bit of a nerd, I would like to get an official education and certificate, which would give me more self-confidence and, more importantly, a portfolio and credibility.

Also, is there any online certificate program that you would recommend instead?

I realized that most of the research groups (or at least a lot of them), don't have a proper website. There is usually something about a group that you can find on university page, but rarely a separate one. And Uni sites are often outdated, and some of them are really bad and user unfriendly haha.

​

Is it not important for PIs and groups to have better digital presence, or there is just no time to focus on something like that? Because I really appreciate finding everything about current projects, fundings, team members, publications easier, and for me it's a big plus when a group has one.

​

It doesn't have to be anything too complicated, just a brief summary and updated info that is organized in a nice way.
