FirstMedCommsJob: Introduction to MedComms Once again we had a large enthusiastic audience to meet with representatives from leading medical communications employers that serve the global pharmaceutical industry. It was a highly engaging session that demonstrated how MedComms offers attractive career options. We provided insights into the working lives of medical writers, editors, account managers and others across the specialist business. It was a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with MedComms specialists and to ask questions. These agencies are looking for individuals with: a genuine enthusiasm for science and its application to the world of medicine the ability to work independently within a small-team environment.
