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 conversation with Amy Ball and Paul McCormack of Certara Insight, we provide some valuable insights into working life in regulatory medical writing. We talk about:

* Amy’s and Paul’s personal journey towards their current positions as regulatory writers
* How regulatory medical writing differs from MedComms medical writing
* What they find enjoyable about being a regulatory medical writer
* What’s a typical day like for a regulatory medical writer
* Their tips for anyone applying to work as a regulatory medical writer

It should be of interest to anyone who is looking for insights into medical writing as a career and how to maximise their chances of gaining an entry-level job.
