Note this is a video recording of an online meeting conducted using the Zoom.us platform. Inevitably such recordings suffer a little in terms of their production values because of the internet connectivity and quality of webcams. Despite that, they allow us to provide additional valuable insights in to the MedComms business and we can involve a wider range of speakers who can participate from the comfort of their own desks, wherever in the world they are.

In this webinar, we are joined by Marie Cuddon (Internal Recruiter), Deb Burford (Head of Medical Writing), Laura Eaton (Medical Writer) and Claire Fielden (Medical Writer) from DRG Abacus who talk about their work in market access and how it differs from other MedComms specialisms. Specifically they talk about the role of the writers and explain what they look for in entry-level staff, and the training opportunities and career prospects. Questions from the audience will be welcomed.

It should be of interest to anyone who is looking for insights in to MedComms as a career and how to maximise their chances of gaining an entry level job. It should also be of interest to people already working in MedComms and interested in specialising further.

Recorded 1 May 2019 as a FirstMedCommsJob webinar. Produced by NetworkPharma.tv
