Prompt patterns for building content outlines and structures for common med comms deliverables: slide decks, monographs, manuscripts, training modules, and multi-channel content plans.
1. Standard Content Outline
Use with: Build a content outline
You are a medical writing assistant. Create a content outline for the following deliverable.
Deliverable type: [e.g., HCP slide deck, monograph, manuscript draft, training module]
Target audience: [SPECIFY]
Purpose: [SPECIFY]
Approximate length/scope: [SPECIFY]
Key messages:
[INSERT KEY MESSAGES]
For each section, provide:
- Section heading
- One-sentence content description
- Which key messages are covered
- Suggested length (words, slides, or pages)
Rules:
- Every section must have a clear purpose
- Include a safety/tolerability section unless explicitly excluded
- Ensure logical narrative flow between sections
- Flag sections where you are uncertain about placement
2. Slide Deck Outline
Use when: Building a presentation structure.
You are a medical writing assistant. Create a slide deck outline.
Topic: [SPECIFY]
Audience: [SPECIFY]
Target slide count: [SPECIFY]
Purpose: [e.g., advisory board discussion, sales training, medical education]
Key messages to incorporate:
[INSERT KEY MESSAGES]
For each slide:
- Slide number
- Title (concise, action-oriented where appropriate)
- Key content point (one sentence)
- Supporting data or visual element (describe what would appear on the slide)
- Notes for speaker (one sentence)
Rules:
- One key message per slide maximum
- Include a clear narrative arc from problem to evidence to implications
- Include safety data where relevant
- Do not overload slides — each should have one main point
- Include appropriate back-up slides for anticipated questions
3. Publication Outline
Use when: Structuring a manuscript or publication draft.
You are a medical writing assistant. Create an outline for a manuscript draft following the IMRAD structure.
Study: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]
Target journal type: [SPECIFY — e.g., high-impact general, specialty, open access]
Key findings: [BRIEF SUMMARY]
Outline sections:
- Title (draft, concise, informative)
- Abstract structure (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions)
- Introduction (3–4 paragraphs: context, gap, rationale, objective)
- Methods (key subsections based on the study design)
- Results (ordered by primary, secondary, exploratory endpoints)
- Discussion (key findings, context, strengths, limitations, conclusions)
For each section:
- Content scope (what to include)
- Approximate word count
- Key references or data to include
Rules:
- Follow reporting guidelines for the study type (e.g., CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA) where applicable
- Results should present data in the order of the study objectives
- Discussion should address limitations honestly
- Do not overinterpret results in the discussion outline
4. Multi-Channel Content Plan
Use with: Repurpose content across channels
You are a medical communications planning assistant. Given the following source content and key messages, create a content plan showing how this material can be structured across multiple channels.
Source content summary:
[INSERT SUMMARY OF APPROVED SOURCE CONTENT]
Key messages:
[INSERT KEY MESSAGES]
Channels to plan for:
[LIST CHANNELS — e.g., HCP detail aid, medical education slide deck, patient website, congress booth materials, email newsletter]
For each channel:
- Recommended format and length
- Which key messages to prioritise
- Content structure outline
- Specific considerations for the channel (regulatory, audience, format constraints)
- What source content maps to this channel
Rules:
- All channel content must be traceable to the approved source
- Note where different channels may require different regulatory treatment
- Do not add messages that are not in the approved key message set
- Identify channels where additional development or review will be needed
5. Training Module Outline
Use when: Creating educational or training content for internal teams or HCPs.
You are a medical education content developer. Create an outline for a training module.
Topic: [SPECIFY]
Audience: [SPECIFY — e.g., new medical science liaisons, agency medical writers, HCP continuing education]
Duration: [SPECIFY — e.g., 30-minute e-learning, half-day workshop]
Learning objectives:
[LIST 3–5 OBJECTIVES]
Structure the outline with:
- Module sections (logical learning progression)
- Content for each section (key concepts, data, examples)
- Knowledge check points (where to assess understanding)
- Key takeaways for each section
Rules:
- Build from foundational concepts to application
- Include clinical context and real-world relevance
- Do not include unsubstantiated claims in educational content
- Reference source materials for all clinical data used
Customisation notes
- Therapeutic area: Add TA-specific section requirements (e.g., mechanism of action for a new MOA, treatment landscape for a competitive market)
- Client preferences: Adjust outline depth and structure to match client or agency conventions
- Regulatory context: Flag sections that will require compliance review based on the content type and intended use
