Medical Writer

The Medical Writer – Learning Solutions supports pharmaceutical and biotech clients by transforming complex scientific and medical information into clear, concise, easy-to-digest training content for adult learners. Audiences include sales representatives and medical science liaisons, many of whom may not have a scientific background. This role focuses on content development, not design or regulatory submissions. Writers create outlines and transcripts primarily in Microsoft Word, which are later handed off to internal design and development teams.

A critical component of the role is researching reputable medical references and accurately citing all content, as materials undergo rigorous client legal and regulatory review. Work volume varies week to week; writers are engaged as projects arise.
