"What  Does It Mean to Be a Medical Writer?"

er><bigger>Our
next speaker earned her PhD at UIC and spent 20+ yrs in academic
science before switching gears to launch an independent career as a
medical writer.  To make this transition, she took a short term
position with a hospital group to gain experience in a clinical
setting-learning how to write from a different perspective and to an
entirely different reader, as well as making the contacts that launched
her new career.  She will be speaking to us on the heels of a trip to
=46rance where she attended a medical conference, followed by two weeks
of writing up the talks.  (Such a dull, no glamour job!)  She will
describe the type of writing she does, how to get freelance or
permanent writing jobs, and how to develop your own independent
business.
