Dr. Anubha Karol MBBS’ Post

I lied to a client. And told them I knew how to write research papers. This was right in the beginning of my #medicalwriting journey. That time I didn’t even know it was called medical writing! I was looking for #freelance clients to make more money as a #medicalwriter. A mere 23-year-old intern still in college. That’s when I found this client who wanted to write a research paper. Let alone writing a #researchpaper, I used to run away from #research as much as possible during college. But when they asked me if I knew how to write one, I very confidently said yes! I thought that I would just learn to write it! Over the course of time, I kept giving their assessments and kept learning about research bit by bit. By the end, I had completely tanked my application with them (obviously, duh! I didn’t know sh!t about research or #scientificwriting). But, I had learnt HOW TO LEARN! Which was way more important than getting that particular client. Safe to say, 4 years down the line, I no longer need to lie about my skills. I used these years to upskill myself, and now I am confident enough to say if there is something I don’t know about. That is the biggest takeaway here. You don’t have to know EVERYTHING before you start. Just start! You will learn along the way. But listennnn!! If you’re looking for the push to start, I am running a #medicalwritingcourse from June 15, 2024. It’s the perfect place to learn everything you need to start, and then you can keep learning along the way. We have limited slots, and they are filling fast. Also, we have an early bird price going on right now. So, grab your seat ASAP (link is in the first comment). I’ll see you there!! All my love 💖 #heathcare #digitalhealth #doctors #nurses #dentists #bams #bhms #pharma #healthcomms #freelancewriting #medicical #nonclinical #courses

Hey Fellow Pharmacists, I hope you’re all doing well! While scrolling through LinkedIn today, I realized that medical writing has evolved into a recognized career path for healthcare professionals. Reflecting on our university days, we dedicated countless hours to studying medical textbooks, yet many of us never considered medical writing as a viable career option. We often envisioned ourselves as industrial pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, or hospital pharmacists. However, it's inspiring to see many pharmacy graduates now embracing medical writing, whether as part-time or full-time careers. This shift is a reminder that we should start recognizing the potential of this field during our academic years. I'll say that medical writing is a goldmine of opportunities. It allows us to conduct research and articulate complex scientific information in a way that others can understand and benefit from. If you’re considering venturing into this field, here are some tips to help you get started: -Leverage Your Clinical Knowledge -Develop Your Writing Skills -Stay Current - Connect with other medical writers and healthcare professionals #MedicalWriting #PharmacistCareers #Pharmacy #Healthcare #PharmaceuticalIndustry #CareerGrowth #WritingTips

Medical writing is an area in the writing industry that is gradully gaining its stance. I once talked about it with a group of people and the response I got was “Medical writing?” Yes! Medical writing. It’s a thing. As a matter of fact, let me re-introduce myself, my name is Sophia and I’m a seasoned medical writer. I WRITE and SPEAK on medical matters and conditions to both health care and non health care people. #medicalwriting #medicalwriter #medical #medics #healthcare #healthcareprofessional #nurse #nursing #writer #writing #innovation

Whether you're a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, or nurse, medical writing could be your perfect fit!   You all have the necessary skills to master #medicalwriting. I know all of you are capable of establishing yourself in this field. Never let self-doubt, criticism, or subjective opinion of someone get in your way of thriving as a #medicalwriter   Let me tell you why:   ➡️Knowledge about the medical field: You know the basics of medicine + writing. Your healthcare background gives you an edge to stand out ➡️Care is in your blood: A sense of care when managing patients or writing a paper makes it easy for you to capture it in your medical content ➡️Communication skills: You know how to simplify complex terms for the patients. Simplify it in your writing too ➡️Scientific Literacy: You have an understanding of medical, dental, and nursing terminology and the ability to comprehend complex scientific concepts. ➡️Research Skills: You have the understanding to write a thesis, research papers, or literature reviews. Learn and explore as many versions of such types of tasks. You will get better with time #scientificwriting #medicine #dentist #research #scientificresearch

I wish I had thought this way during my UG days 😅 Your degree is just the beginning... If you’re thinking, “I have a medical degree, so I should only look for clinical roles,” may be it’s time to rethink. Because, limiting yourself to roles that strictly match your degree title may not be a good idea in the long run, especially in this fast-moving digital era. I think we undervalue some transferable skills we acquired during our clinical career?? For instance, - #Medicalwriting: you may have already done some form of medical writing during your graduation, like preparing a poster or a presentation for a seminar. If so, you have likely honed research techniques and have the skills to conduct literature reviews or clinical studies. Right? - Your #analyticalskills are also invaluable. Taking a detailed patient history, analyzing various investigations, and making informed decisions are proof of the crucial analytical abilities you possess. - Effective #communication is another asset you already have. Explaining medical terms to patients in a way they understand is something we have been doing since day one of our clinical rotations. Isn't it? This means you must be a pro at simplifying medical jargon for different audiences. - #Attention to detail is another skill you've mastered. As a healthcare worker, ensuring the accuracy of patient records highlights your attention to detail. - #TimeManagement is another strength. Managing multiple patients, completing case files, and projects or assignments on time shows that you already have excellent time management skills. I know transitioning to a new field isn’t easy. It requires you to reevaluate and repackage your skills, and maybe even upskill. But once you do, you’ll find a plethora of opportunities waiting for you. The world of medical writing is vast and full of opportunities for those willing to explore beyond the traditional routes of clinical medicine! So, open your mind to different possibilities. These skills are incredibly valuable in medical writing and beyond.

When I started the transition from working as an RN in a clinical environment to writing, I was a unicorn. This was in the 90s and there were few nurses who earned their living as a writer. It was so rare that I had no trouble buying TheNurseWriter.com. (It redirects to medhealthwriter.) Over the years, so many people asked why I made that change, from the floors to my desk at home. They wanted to know why I stopped being a nurse. I never stopped being a nurse. I AM a nurse. A big part of being a nurse is educating people. I tell those who ask that writing about health and medical issues allowed me to do bedside patient teaching to thousands of people instead of just a few. I knew I could write well. I knew how to talk to people, and best of all, I knew how to explain things so anyone could understand them. I'm no longer a unicorn and THE "nurse writer." Other nurses and healthcare professionals have set up shop as writers and are doing a great job. However many are afraid that AI will take the work away from them. In coaching sessions, they ask me about it. I say that AI may take content mill work - that's no surprise. But no AI can replace the depth of experience that a nurse has, a nurse who has spoken with those patients and held those hands. AI didn't comfort a family as their loved one drew their last breath. AI didn't teach parents how to give an insulin shot to their child with newly diagnosed diabetes. AI didn't gently distract the patient who desperately asked for the 10th time that night when her husband would come and get her, forgetting that her husband died years ago. If you need a writer, content developer, or editor for health information, you can't go wrong seeking out a nurse writer for that work. We may ask for higher rates, but we're worth it. Because when it comes to health writing, you need accurate, well-written content. But you also need the years of education and experience that a nurse can bring to the table. Let me know if I can help you with your content needs. Or, do a search for nurse writers and see if there is someone else who might be a good fit for you. We're worth it. #nursewriter #nurses #healthcontent #healthnews #healthandwellness #healthliteracy #freelancewriting
