Thank you so much for this. Great tips!
Glad it was helpful! 😊💓
Greetings, ma'am. How are you doing? Ma'am, I'm Uchechukwu Innocent Chinemerem. I'm currently studying computer science. I want to be a medical writer . From this video,you said there are types of medical writing ❤. Ma'am,which type is the best ? Like,what's your recommendation? Moreover,can I learn medical writing from you?
Hello 👋 Yes there are different types of medical writing - I am a creative person so I prefer medical copywriting and writing patient information. I recommend you try different types to see which one you like most. I will make a video about the different types of medical writing in future 😊 If you want to learn from me go here: writeclinic.thinkific.com/collections/products
How would I do this if I am currently studying my degree? Any tips would be appreciated :)
Really great question - I recommend you start writing to build your portfolio. Even if oyu can write just one article in a month, then you have a sample of writing you can show a potential client or recruiter. Definitely start networking on LinkedIn too. What degree are you studying at the moment?
@@writeclinicthank you for the reply. I am studying Diagnostic Radiography and Medical Imaging. I would love to build a portfolio up whilst I do my degree but I’m not sure where to get started ❤
I've made a video for you today to help you out :) th-cam.com/video/hPbdgHBQJnM/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing. I also moved from the UK to Germany, and I'm looking into getting into medical writing (as I need a job). I worked as a scientific copy editor/proofreader for five years for a well-known psychology institute in Germany, which was all in English, but I was made redundant during Covid. I then went on to get a first-class BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling, but I had to take a year off after that to care for my elderly parents.
Thank you for sharing your story - I also got into medical writing as I needed a job! I think you can continue as a copy editor/proofreader too. Sorry to hear about being made redundant, I was made redundant too - twice! Congratulations on your first class BSc - that is awesome. I hope your parents are doing well too.
hey guys, I am a non-medical person with a Master’s in Marketing, and I have been working in content writing and research for over 10 years. My experience includes SEO, blogs, copywriting, marketing content, and nearly all types of writing-related tasks. Can I pursue a career in medical writing with my hands-on writing experience? Will this field be as open to me as it is to someone with a medical background? Thank you in advance for your sincere advice.
Hello - Yes absolutely! I have worked with medical writers who do not have a medical background. Your Masters in Marketing would be ideal for promotional content and medical copywriting. There are different rules and regulations around promoting medicines depending on the country your client is in - so that would be a good starting point for you :)
Thank you, Virginia. Would you consider your own Facebook group as an adequate platform for writing, or would it be better to send people to your personal website or blog? This is with regards to someone who would be very early in this career, with a limited following
Heya, Great question - I would say a Facebook group is not as accessible as your own website or blog, and I'm not an expert in Facebook groups so I probably cannot give you the answer you're looking for. I think anything can work if you're happy to stick to it for a long time - If you give it a try I would love to hear how it goes :)

As a pharmacy student in my penultimate year...Can i also train to be a medical health writer
Yes absolutely you can :-)
@@writeclinic Can I also start work as a health writer as a pharmacy student? Most of the health writers I've been seeing online are professionals, will a student be able to fit in to the competition? 🥲
@@writeclinicpls uhmm...I noticed most of the health writers I've met online so far are full blown professionals, will it be possible to fit in to the competitive space as a pharmacy undergraduate?
Yes, I have worked with students before in a medical communications agency - often students have more availability than a medical writer during peak seasons (such as winter/autumn). I have trained a biomedical undergraduate and a medical undergraduate - both during my time at the agency, as they were available and did about 5 to 10 hours of work per month, plus extra during summer (but not during exam time).
Everyone starts somewhere, and the sooner you start the better you get over time. Writing is not something you have to practice over time, and the top writers get busy quickly because companies know this. So they are willing to train young writers in the hopes they can teach you what they need you to write (such as the writing style for a specific client).
Greetings, ma'am. How are you doing today? I'm new here 🎉🎉. I just subscribed to your channel, ma'am. It's a privilege 🎉!. Ma'am, I'm just 20 and i am an undergraduate student. I want to learn medical writing (i want to become an expert). I am a science student. Ma'am,i will be glad if you can assist me . Please 🙏. Ma'am, I'm expecting a positive response from you ❤

Hello Virginia I have Questions Is okay for English language students to be digital writers Specially medical writing ? I’m an optometrist and Non- English native
Heya, Yes of course you can be, you do not need C1 or C2 English, I recommend minimum B1 or B2

Our Instagram is @writeclinic

This is just what I need. Thanks!!
Happy to help! Thank you for watching :)
I am a health care professional ,Dentist, with excellent writing skills and a sound knowledge in Medicine. I want to know if I can work from India, I am an Indian national. I have seen new south hampshire university, online medical writing costing around 2000 dollars for 6 months, but before signing up for it , i want to know if the medical writing market take up freelancers from India as well for freelancing or do we need to belong and have an education from US or UK to freelance for them?
Great question, I recommend you ask New South Hampshire University if their course teaches you what you need to enter a UK or US market as a medical writer. From my experience, it is possible to work for a UK or US client if your location is India and you have a portfolio or writing samples to show your skills. I like to believe that everything in life is possible, so there is a market, the hard part is finding the client - there is no shortcut to this, I would recommend you start sending people messages to build relationships and improve future job prospects. I do have starter, more affordable, courses here if you want to check them out: writeclinic.thinkific.com/collections
@@writeclinic Thank you for responding. I have seen the website. Thank you for making it practical, accessible and affordable. I have seen the 12 course module in the intro video, and it looks like it is a perfect place to start from. I get a sense that it is a beginners guide and not a certification course, please correct me if I am wrong.
@@preetikaj Hey! Thank you for checking it out and glad it's accessible :) Yes it's a beginners guide, and there is a certificate for each module.
Can a none scientist do medical writing?
Hello, Yes they can. It might be more competitive, but not impossible - I work with people who do not have a science background :)
Very brilliant and informative episode
Thank you so much :)
Interesting conversation and very helpful indeed! I've a question though - can we break into regulatory affairs as freelancers and do regulatory writing for pharmaceutical companies in the EU, UK, or US, remotely from anywhere in the world?
Yes this is possible :) You can see this is what Mat does, he talks about it in the podcast here: th-cam.com/video/Ntf-EzyNO0I/w-d-xo.html
@@writeclinic thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Lots of helpful info. I have a BA in psychology and have tried a lot of different types of work and keep burning out. That is the reason I want to get into content writing and I'm considering medical writing as a niche. How do you know if you have enough knowledge to succeed in medical writing? I have taken lots of science courses and I work at a hospital but I'm not sure I would know what to write about on, for example, a personal blog. What are your thoughts?
Hey, Sorry to hear about the burnout, and I hope you are feeling better now. Generally, if you can understand health topics and science, then you have enough knowledge. The more advanced knowledge you have, the better and easier it is to find jobs. If you want to start writing about something, think of what you like to read about. You need to enjoy reading and researching before you write - so I recommend anything that makes you feel excited or you are personally passionate to write about - for example, some people write about a health condition that is in their family or a medicine you used recently.
Thank Virginia, this is pretty helpful
Thank you for your kind comment Nadine, glad you found it helpful 😊 ❤️ Best wishes, Virginia xx
Love Emma so much ❤
She's great ❤️😊
Epic achievement! Love it
Thank you Gavin ❤️ 😊
Thank you for these informative and clear videos :) do you have any advice on how to ask for testimonials from clients ? Is there any etiquette involved ?
Thank you for watching 😊 that is a great question- I will make a video about it to help you! For now, my general advice is to say how much you enjoyed working together and if they could kindly give you some feedback that you can add to your portfolio or website or linkedin to support your future business 😊 Always ask at the very end after you have been paid...otherwise it can be awkward to ask with an outstanding invoice. Best wishes, Virginia x
Could you please share some of these groups that specialized in medical copywriting. Any piece of advice would be greatly appreciated
That's a great question - I will go through specifically how to find clients as a medical copywriter in a future video - thank you for watching and for your suggestion. Best, Virginia
No Internet for almost a month in Germany? Jeeez. Imagine then what we go through here in Nigeria. Love your work!

No internet for a month?! Aaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!
It was a TOTAL nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hotspotting from my phone, and going to the library/cafe, and just trying to stay sane! Now I can finally just record and upload videos without it taking HOURS!!!
Hi Virginia, I’m new in your TH-cam channel. I would like to send you my congratulations for this video. Also, I would to ask you, what is your career? Are you healthcare professional?
Hello! Thank you for watching. Yes I am a healthcare professional, registered for 10 years as a pharmacist in the UK 🇬🇧
My career at the moment is creating health information- videos and writing, I am also an evidence checker for some of the NHS health information pages. I train healthcare professionals to create health information videos too. I help people become medical writers through courses and coaching a and free videos.
Very good reflections Virginia 🙏

Thank you so much for all the love and encouragement!!! Love, Virginia x
Hi Virginia! To become a medical writer would you say it's more advantageous for a pharmacy student to complete the pre-registration year or go straight into medical writing after 4th year?
Heya! Definitely complete your pre-registration, you worked hard for your degree, and you will have the option to work part time as a pharmacist especially if there is a situation where there is not much medical writing work available 😀 always good to have options in life - I am still a registered Pharmacist ❤️ take care, love, Virginia x

And I agree when you tell us that we must give it all to become a medical writer (Still starting this transition )! Best
@@gerardelementoaire1581 oooh you are in for a treat with DSlayer - it just gets better and better! The current arc is building up to the final battle (no spoilers!) Dragonball is pretty classic - I mean, I think every anime basically got inspiration from it haha. Hope DBS is good! Yes absolutely - the more you keep up the effort the more likely you are to succeed as a medical writer. Wishing you all the best of luck :)
Thanks. I've been looking to pivot and am exploring avenues in medical writing.
Thank you for your kind comment 😊
Hi Virginia! Thank you so much for this really useful video. I just had a question about creating your own website to showcase your work. When clients are looking at your sample work on your website, do they judge how well you’ve designed the website, or do they just look at the quality of your writing in isolation?
Thank you for watching and great question Matteo ! They look at the quality of your writing and how you have laid it out (format with headings etc) - design is secondary, but should be complementary (generally you do not need anything too flashy, even my website is basically black and white, but very easy to navigate!)
