Taking it further__I resumed as an intern medical editor today! I don't believe in doing things halfway. And nobody should. Slothfulness is not synonymous with excellence. That was why I took my medical training to the zenith, before diversifying. Despite my experience in reviewing manuscripts, I am eager to elevate my skills by becoming a certified medical editor. What better way to do it than to go through hands-on training? Medical editing is the other half of medical communications. I have just been certified in medical writing but the process needs to be completed. In the coming weeks and months, as part of the Klarity team, I will be reviewing articles on a wide range of medical topics. It can only get better. What is it that hand has found doing? Please do it with all your might. Have an excellent week. #medicalwriter #medicaleditor #publichealthscientist #ObGyn

Should you study medicine to become a medical writer? It's the classic dilemma - like Shakespeare's 'To be or not to be?' Let's be real - medical school is an intense journey (these textbooks you see are just 60% of my collection - the rest are with colleagues or in PDF). Here's the truth: most successful medical writers come from life sciences backgrounds, not medicine. And forget the linear path myth of "Degree → Masters → Medical Writing." The journey is far more dynamic. While there are many misconceptions about entering this field, one truth stands: you need deep subject matter expertise to create outstanding medical content. And this expertise is not based entirely on your diploma! Drawing from Veritasium's video on the subject, here's what it takes to excel in medical writing: 1. Repeated practice with feedback: mastering medical content comes from repetition. Each time you write CME materials, you'll grasp deeper nuances and develop specialized expertise in specific therapeutic areas. 2. Valid environment: medical writing follows established patterns. The industry values consistency in language, tone, and structure – making it an ideal environment to develop expertise. 3. Timely feedback: quick feedback loops accelerate growth. Working with senior writers provides immediate insights you can apply to your next project, creating a rewarding cycle of improvement. 4. Don't get too comfortable: excellence demands continuous growth. Push beyond "good enough" by tackling complex topics and expanding into new therapeutic areas. True expertise comes from embracing challenges. What's your take on this? Source: https://lnkd.in/d86jpykX #medicalwriting

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

In medical school, I always gravitated toward medical texts that made complex concepts easier to grasp. Essentials of Medical Physiology by K. Sembulingam comes to mind. I chose it over other physiology books because it was clear and easy to understand. Medical concepts are inherently complex, but they can be conveyed clearly and meaningfully with a conscious effort. That’s what medical writing is all about. It’s more than just putting words on paper; it’s about deliberately communicating medical information in a way that resonates with any audience, whether experts or laypersons. Yesterday, at the onboarding session of this medical writing challenge, Dr Azuka Chinweokwu Ezeike shared one definition of medical writing: a profession dedicated to communicating scientific and medical information to appropriate target audiences, such as healthcare professionals, regulators, patients, and the general public, to achieve certain objectives. This definition reinforces the importance of intentionality in our line of work. I’m not sure what K. Sembuligam set out to achieve with his physiology text, but as a medical student, I chose it because it made learning easier. There was another book that was even simpler to understand, but it was too voluminous, and the size alone intimidated me. (If you know, you know😉) This preference for clarity shapes my approach to medical writing today. One of the qualities that define a great medical writer is the intentional effort to communicate clearly to the intended audience. And if you can achieve this with fewer words while maintaining accuracy, you’re golden. As a budding medical writer, I aim to embody two core principles: clarity and conciseness – always, without compromising accuracy. My value proposition? Bringing clarity to complex medical information. There are many other qualities an excellent medical writer should have. Which ones do you prioritize? Share with me in the comments below.

Ever since I was young, I dreamed of being a prolific writer. I imagined crafting strategies, delving into research, and communicating ideas that could educate, inspire, or proffer succour to people. But life took me in a different direction. After years of schooling, hard work, and dedication, I found myself in the middle of a rewarding clinical medical career. I enjoyed helping clients and making a difference in their lives, yet that passion for writing always lingered. At times, I found myself thinking about how medical writing could blend my love for science and my dream of authorship. The world of medical writing is dynamic and diverse, allowing for creativity while contributing to the healthcare space. I could imagine myself explaining complex medical concepts, breaking down research findings, disseminating valuable health information to the public or even helping to create documents that guide future medical innovations. Now, I'm ready to take the bull by the horns and make that memorable leap. I want to combine my clinical expertise with my lifelong passion for writing to enter the world of medical writing. It feels like an exciting new chapter, one that aligns with both my skills and dreams, and I'm eager to contribute to the field through clear, succinct and impactful communication. Medical writing involves creating well-structured, clear, and accurate documents related to healthcare, medicine, and scientific research. It encompasses a wide range of content for different audiences, including regulatory, clinical, and educational materials. As a complementary profession, medical writing feels like coming full circle, where a lifelong dream meets a meaningful career. I’m excited about this journey and the chance to blend my two worlds into a fulfilling and impactful path. Join me in this exciting and rewarding pathway as I participate in the 14-day Medical Writing Challenge with Dr Az. #14daymedicalwritingchallengewithDrAz
