AMWA Rocky Mountain Chapter

Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the American Medical Writers Association! AMWA-RMC includes the states of Colorado, Utah & Wyoming. (Residents of Idaho and Montana also participate.) A nonprofit society, AMWA promotes excellence in biomedical communication by:

bringing together communicators and editors engaged in the medical and allied health professions throughout the world,
offering an extensive educational program,
providing a forum for networking and interactive meetings, and
publishing the quarterly AMWA Journal.

The AMWA Rocky Mountain Chapter plans 3–4 programs around the Denver and Salt Lake City metro areas each year. Some programs involve topics that may stimulate ideas for writing, while other programs concern particular aspects of medical writing.

Thank you to all our members, guests and speakers who joined us on Saturday June 7th for our 2025 AMWA-RMC Spring conference in Aurora, CO! Your presence and contributions made the event what it was. 🙏 🎤

Highlights included outstanding keynote talks from Aimee Pugh Bernard, PhD and Alyssa Hurst, which focussed on building and maintaining resilience and trust in science and medicine through storytelling, education, metaphors and connection. We also had a highly interactive panel discussion with several experts covering different facets of medical communication. 👩‍💼
