We've Been Discovered

Chronicle Guidance Publications, located here in the upstate New York hamlet of Moravia, south of Syracuse, has published a complete description of what medical writers do for a living. Chronicle Guidance Brief 57 outlines the history of our profession, the training required, working conditions, means of entry, hours and wages, professional societies, and future outlook. Published in March, the four-page document is based in part on interviews with Melanie Fridl Ross, an AMWA member from Florida.

Reading this brief would be a great place to start if you're curious about this field, or would like to tell other people about it.

A link to the brief, in PDF format, can be found in the Helpful Links section of this blog. However, this PDF is tricky. Its file properties have been modified so you can view it on your computer screen, and send it over the Internet, but you cannot print it out. So this particular description of our profession is, quite literally, unprintable!
