Medical writing
Scientists and doctors need to communicate their work to others. Can you help them? Have you a talent for writing and putting
over ideas in a simple and exciting way? Medical writers work in pharmaceutical companies or contract companies and produce
clinical trial reports, study protocols, papers for scientific publication and advertising material. They may help to organise
scientific meetings around the world where new results are presented to fellow scientists, the medical profession and the media.
Other writers work for scientific journals, such as Nature and New Scientist, editing the work of scientists and doctors and
ensuring high quality publications. The world of publishing is being transformed with the use of electronic media.
