Every medical writer matters: Elevating MedComms with Monster-level Training
Despite there being an abundance of talent actively trying to burst into the medcomms industry, there are too few entry-levels roles, and on top of that, some agencies struggle to find time to train and mentor their writers. In this webinar, we talk about the importance of nurturing support to upskill and enrich the development of medical writers, whether they are trying to find their foot in the door of their first agency or already part of a growing writing team. Hear first-hand from Caroline Bradley, Principal Medical Writer and Head of the Monster Academy at Word Monster, alongside her colleagues, Laura Laul (Principal Medical Writer), Megan Sharrock (Medical Writer) and Hannah Harjen (Associate Medical Writer), about what inspired them to develop the growing training and mentoring programme, Monster Academy, and how it's changing the game, when it comes to prioritising training for medical writers. And we answer questions from the audience.
