Material Development


Many Commonwealth Medicine programs and services are the first of their kind, breaking ground in fields such as researchclinical service deliveryeducation and training, and others. As such, a fundamental part of the organization's work is developing new materials to support our programs and services.

Our supporting materials can range from educational curricula and training manuals, to brochures and other printed information for medical professionals, patients and the community. Commonwealth Medicine researchers are consistently developing improved methods of analyzing and presenting data, so our research reports are clear, comprehensive, and above all, useful. When possible, we take advantage of opportunities for web-based information delivery, developing easy-to-use online applications and custom websites our clients can access from anywhere.

With a broad client base, and experience working in many areas of health care, we are adept at tailoring information and materials to a particular audience. All materials are developed with an awareness of and sensitivity to varying literacy levels, audiences with mental and physical disabilities, and diverse cultural and ethnic communities. Commonwealth Medicine also provides high quality translation services to ensure that materials produced are as widely used and effective as possible.
