Thanks for this.i'm also trying to get into medical writing also.your video has given me an insight on what it really entails to be one.i appreciate it
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.
Thanks for valuable information through this video. I am intending to start freelancing in Medical writing. I have a Bachelors degree in science. Im highly interested in reading/researching on medical topics. In this video you mentioned about making a portfolio. If you can give little more details on what topics to write about in order to make a portfolio, it will be helpful. Thanks

Hi I m a dentist and I am passionate about medical writing, I m confused don’t know where to start from.?can you guide me how can I become medical writer
Hey! Thank you so much - yes absolutely I can help. What type of medical writing are you looking to get into? At the moment I can have a video call with you or you can take a look at our courses here: writeclinic.com/medical-writing-courses/
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 :)
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.
Generally, I do not recommend using AI for medical writing 100% = you can use it to plan a structure for your writing (such as find keywords, or suggest headings or a title) , any maybe find credible information sources (use it for research), but I would not depend on it writing the actual content or even summarising health information. If everyone is using AI to write, you're just going to sound the same as everyone else. So to stand out, you should always rewrite everything, and always fact check to make sure the information is accurate - this is health information a person will use at the end of the day, so it is super important it is accurate. AI is not good at nuance (especially health topics), so a medical professional or expert in the relevant field will need to check the work after you write it.
Heya, I recommend you start by writing a few articles to creat a protfolio, then networking and connecting with people on LinkedIn - you can also write for charities to build your portfolio of writing samples to get testimonials.
