Medical Writing: Write your Way to Six-Figures and Beyond

Abstract

Medical writing is a broad term for a vast 3-billion-dollar industry. The industry is large enough to accommodate all types of medical writers and health care communicators who can contribute in various ways. For example, some medical writers assist with medical education, such as continuing medical education (CME), slide-decks, textbooks, needs assessments, and patient education. Other medical writers may work in medical journalism, research documents, medical marketing, regulatory document preparation, or scientific publication and presentations. This article discusses ways for pharmacists to enter this field and is an extension of the ASCP provided webinar, which can be accessed here.
