She lives in a tiny village in Scotland, where most of her neighbours are sheep. She has a PhD in cardiovascular science, and when not making things up for a living, she works as a Medical Writer.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Rizzo, a trained journalist who turned her curiosity and life-long interest in medicine into a thriving career as a CME writer. Michelle currently works as an associate medical director and senior writer at a boutique CME content company, where she often finds herself writing and researching about rare diseases. She was kind enough to give us a glimpse into her writing process and share some actionable tips for getting into the field without a clinical background. Here are three key takeaways from the episode.Lead with the patient perspective: The ultimate goal of all CME content is to improve patient outcomes. So put your energy and effort into understanding how conditions impact the daily lives and trajectories of patients, beyond what the data alone may tell you.Write with empathy: Behind every study are stories of clinicians and patients, and once you tell them, those stories will be read by others. So put intention into making content that's clear and takes into consideration your subjects' points of view and the audience's needs. Don't be afraid to over-research: Time constraints are always a concern, but if you're writing about a rare condition or a subject you're not familiar with, strive to learn as much as you can before putting pen to paper. This episode has nuggets of wisdom for everyone, whether you're only thinking about getting into CME or have been in the industry for decades.

I was fascinated by Janelle Barowski's profile on LinkedIn and knew I had to connect with her. She's a nurse and a talented freelance medical writer, having worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Janelle found her calling in medical writing after realizing that bedside nursing no longer fulfilled her, and has since achieved the work-life balance that many strive for. She explained that nurses are highly sought after in medical writing due to their expertise and compassionate writing style, which is very similar to how they speak with patients. I discovered that there are numerous outlets for medical writing, including nursing curricula, journals, NCLEX questions, continuing education, medical blogs, and more. Janelle even referred to medical writing as an entry-level job that requires no prior experience. What I appreciated most was Janelle's perspective on nurses leaving the bedside to pursue writing; she reassured me that they are still helping patients, just in a different way.

What qualities do medical writers need? This is a question I'm frequently asked. In this episode, expect to hear some robust answers—whatever your niche, specialty, or area of focus.Holly Hagan MSc, Success Coach for Medical Writers, believes that all medical writers require diplomacy, intellectualism, inquisitiveness, and resourcefulness as fundamental qualities to thrive. Authentically embodying moral and civic character lies central to her approach to medical writing. In addition, Holly maintains that personal branding goes deeper than your background banner, understanding personal brand to encompass the experience of your every interaction with colleagues and customers.She advocates that employees and freelancers would benefit from adopting a service mindset. Shifting to a service mindset also allows writers to reframe the taboo surrounding sales into one where we understand and fulfill the customer's needs. Holly advises beginner writers to remain vigilant about opinions versus facts when considering what is possible and recommends using visualizations to stay focused on achieving your goals. Holly suggests, "I find that it can be really powerful to separate the facts from opinions when it comes to your job search. That core belief will then change what sort of things you see in the visible world."Connect with HollyEmail: holly@hollyhagan.caTop Medical WriterLinkedInHolly is presenting at the AMWA Carolinas spring conference: Learn more  ResourcesClifton Strengths ➡️ Join WriteCME Pro for ongoing professional development ⭐ Review the podcast

After several misdiagnoses, Jen Singer was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During her treatment, she was blogging about parenthood for Good Housekeeping and began writing about her cancer experience. That inspired her to become a full-time medical writer. Listen in to learn more about Jen's journey with cancer, COVID, and heart failure. You'll also hear in detail how she's used empathy to become an award-winning medical writer.   What You'll Learn: Jen Singer is introduced. (2:35) There were several misdiagnoses before Jen got diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (4:05) After being rushed to the hospital, Jen got a second opinion. (9:45) When she finally got the correct diagnosis, Jen's first thoughts were her daughters. (11:00) Having an honest doctor was everything for Jen. (13:48) After recovering from COVID, Jen went into heart failure. (16:45) Jen laughs about learning the difference between the oncology floor and cardiology floor. (18:50) The term heart failure is terrifying for many people. (22:10) Anger is a common feeling when patients have multiple big diagnoses in their life. (23:00) Asking smart, specific questions about your treatment is important. (26:45) Seeing terrified patients, Jen was inspired to create "The Just Diagnosed Guides" (27:40) "How is it for you today?" is a great question to ask patients. (30:26) Healthcare providers need to be careful about what they say. (33:25)   Ideas worth sharing: "I wrote a script to call different pulmonologist offices." - Jen Singer "When you see something concerning, doctors should say, "That's odd we should investigate." - Dr. Rosalyn Morrell "The whole thing was how can I get the right treatment as fast as possible, and how can I protect my family from people saying things that aren't always helpful." - Jen Singer "Googling your symptoms is never a good idea when you don't know what you're looking for." - Jen Singer "The more dangerous the diagnosis, the more opinions you should seek." - Jen Singer "We're taught how to be healthy, not how to be sick." - Jen Singer   Resources: Rosalyn Morrell, MD: Website Jen Singer: Website

Providers of accredited education for health professionals need to demonstrate that education activities have changed learner behavior and healthcare quality for the better. One of the best ways to show positive change is via outcomes reports. In episode 39 of Write Medicine, Medical Writer and Certified CME Professional Andrew Bowser ELS, CHCP talks about outcomes. Andy is the owner and lead developer with IconCME, a content development and consulting firm in Philadelphia. We discuss the format of reports, who the audiences are for outcomes reports, and how the results can help education evolve and improve. Andy describes the evolution of CME, outlines Moore's Outcomes Framework for evaluating outcomes, and explores the increasing oversight of what constitutes accredited CME. We discuss the importance of narrative and telling a story within outcomes reporting and he recommends using visual cues to simplify the design and improve comprehension. He says, “there's a lot of interesting and creative ways you can portray the data and help people comprehend the outcomes of an activity.”The following acronyms are mentioned in our conversation. CME = Continuing Medical EducationCE = Continuing EducationCPD = Continuing Professional DevelopmentConnect with AndyIconCMELinkedInConnect with AlexLinkedInWebsiteOffers➡️ Do you have a podcast?

Most people don't pursue the topic of how to be sick. But when you are first diagnosed with an illness, it can be scary and confusing with so many unknowns. What do you believe and how do you respond? Jen Singer, who has survived cancer, COVID-19 and heart failure drew upon her experience as a medical writer for one of New York City's most prestigious hospitals to help others respond to an unexpected diagnosis. Jen already knew how to decipher survival statistics, medical research papers and how to translate all the medicalese. So she wrote the book How to Be Sick. As a longtime book coach, ghostwriter and editor, Jen is also known as Macheté Jen, helping writers cut words, paragraphs and even chapters that may not be needed. Working with everyone from fighter pilots, CEOs and Olympic athletes didn't totally prepare her for her own medical journey, but she did know not to pay a visit to “Dr. Google” as a new patient. Her Just Diagnosed guides were an outflow of her experience of analyzing in-depth research, which can be frightening, tempered with her experience as a patient. You will want to listen to her interview as well as read the article with steps to proceed as it's timely information for most anyone.

Marijke Vroomen Durning always wanted to be a writer but her teachers and parents didn't support that choice; they told her to choose something more practical. She became a nurse As an RN, Marijke literally worked with patients from life to death. Her first job was working with new mothers and their infants on a postpartum ward. One of her last clinical jobs was in a hospice. But Marijke's dream of writing never left and slowly but surely, she started working on developing that career. She stopped working clinically in 2009, taking her part-time writing to a successful full-time career. Although Marijke writes for professional-level outlets, she prefers to write for the general public. She explains that her writing is like the bedside patient teaching that nurses want to do but don't have the time. Marijke also wrote a book called Just the Right Dose: Your Smart Guide to Prescription Medications and How to Take Them Safely because as a nurse, she saw so many people who didn't take their medications properly. In 2009, Marijke joined a fledgling organization, Sepsis Alliance, as a part-time contractor. Back then, sepsis awareness was abysmal and there was little online about it. Over the past 12 years, the small but dedicated Sepsis Alliance team worked hard to educate the American public about this often deadly condition. And there is progress. More people now know about sepsis and Sepsis Alliance has become the go-to organization for sepsis-related information and support. But there is still more work to be done. There are two parts of the site for which Marijke, now the senior clinical content advisor, feels particular pride: The Sepsis and… library and the Faces of Sepsis™ section. Marijke gets upset when she hears of teens and young adults who are discouraged from following their dreams by adults who are supposed to encourage growth. She knows how that feels. But she also wonders sometimes if she would have been a successful writer had she not been a nurse first. This experience enabled her to develop her niche in the writing world. So while she still feels that her teachers were wrong, she did find her path eventually. Marijke lives in Montreal, Canada, where if she's not at her desk educating people about health and wellness, you will likely find her in her sewing room, where she is designing and creating beautiful quilts. You can find her professional website at medhealthwriter.com and her quilting site at MyCreativeQuilts.com. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marijkevroomendurning/ Twitter: MarijkeD

In this week's episode, both our storytellers are assessed and evaluated in ways they never expected. Part 1: During a visit to her doctor, comedian Angel Yau finds herself answering “always” to every question on the mental health evaluation. Part 2: Scientist Valerie Bentivegna doesn't know what to do when her PhD supervisors tell her that her thesis isn't good enough. Angel Yau is a comedian, storyteller, actor, and filmmaker from Queens, New York. She started her comedy career (unintentionally) in high school when she ran for school council. From then she knew how to laugh at herself. She founded "Asian American Film Thing", and "Shoes off, Mouth off." Both events showcases AAPI storytellers and creators. She is also proudly in the musical comedy group, AzN PoP! Angel's festival-winning stop-motion animations are where she explores her childhood in comedic but heartfelt ways dealing with solitude, rejection, and alienation. Angel was recently featured in a BBC short documentary on being a comedian dealing with mental health. If you ask Valerie Bentivegna to describe herself in three words, she would say: tall, nerdy, and clumsy (not in that order). She has a Ph.D. in Life Sciences from the University of Dundee and currently works as a Science and Medical Writer at Cognition Studio in Seattle. She enjoys diving deep into the science, translating the complex into the engaging, and bringing in authenticity and the occasional bit of humor. Learn more about your ad choices.

Learning a little bit of something each day is a bit like dollar-cost averaging in the field of investing: keep doing them consistently over time, and you will end up becoming very rich in both marketable skills and savings.

If you are working in an FDA regulated, regulated company or are interested in the products associated with it, you're probably dealing with with something that has had medical writers fingers all over it. And if the fingers have been all over it is because they've probably been through a lot of school. And to get there, they may have been THROUGH THROUGH THROUGH Danny's guidance.

Author and writer Maija Haavisto caught my attention with her article titled ‘Medical Trauma: Gaslighting and Continuous Stress Eating Away at Your Self Worth’. In her writing, Maija accurately captures the consequences of harmful medical experiences I witness in my counseling clients.  As I’ve said elsewhere, medical error and trauma are the unacknowledged pandemics within our health care systems. Maija grew up in Finland, a healthy child until she got the flu as a teenager and never recovered.  Kicked out of an abusive home at 16 as she struggled with sickness, Maija relied on her writing prowess and carved out a successful career as a journalist and medical writer who has authored 17 books in Finnish. Along the way, Maija’s health has fluctuated, she eventually got a diagnosis of MEcfs, moved to the Netherlands partly for healthcare reasons in 2010, but she has never been totally healthy again. Of course, having undiagnosed and unrecognized symptoms, and then getting a diagnosis of a medically marginalized disease, means Maija had to have numerous encounters with the health care system. Encounters that more often than not, would be stressful and trauma inducing.  But Maija has taken her lived experience with the chronic disease MEcfs, and her more recent experience with Long Covid (aka post Covid syndrome), and her encounters with the health care system, and uses those elements to inform her writing. Maija makes the point that medical trauma is different from post traumatic stress. As Maija writes in her article,  “Another aspect that makes medical trauma particularly pernicious is the way we may be forced to face our abuser and pretend nothing has happened. Even if we manage to cut them off, their pointed comments may stick in our medical files.” And that’s exactly what distinguishes PTSD from continuous medical trauma.  If you have a complex chronic illness, especially one that is medically marginalized, you probably cannot divorce yourself completely from the health care system to try to protect yourself from further abuse and trauma. You are forced to continue to engage with your traumatizer, both the physician and the health care system -- and that makes medical trauma continuous, and some would say, chronic trauma.

If you are a survivor, a victim’s surviving family member, a health care worker, advocate, researcher or policy maker and you would like to share your experiences, please send me an email with a brief description:  RemediesPodcast@gmail.com  Need a Counsellor? Like me, many of my clients at Remedies Counseling have experienced the often devastating effects of medical error. If you need a counsellor for your experience with medical error, or living with a chronic illness(es), I offer online video counseling appointments. **For my health and life balance, I limit my number of counseling clients.**  Email me to learn more or book an appointment:  RemediesOnlineCounseling@gmail.com Scott Simpson:  Counsellor + Patient Advocate + (former) Triathlete I am a counsellor, patient advocate, and - before I became sick and disabled - a passionate triathlete. Work hard. Train hard. Rest hard. I have been living with HIV since 1998. I was the first person living with HIV to compete at the triathlon world championships. Thanks to research and access to medications, HIV is not a problem in my life. I have been living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since 2012, and thanks in part to medical error, it is a big problem in my life. Counseling / Research I first became aware of the ubiquitousness of medical error during a decade of community based research working with the HIV Prevention Lab at Ryerson University, where I co-authored two research papers on a counseling intervention for people living with HIV, here and here.  Patient participants would often report varying degrees of medical neglect, error and harms as part of their counseling sessions. Patient Advocacy I am co-founder of the ME patient advocacy non-profit Millions Missing Canada, and on the Executive Committee of the Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Research Network. I am also a patient advisor for Health Quality Ontario’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, and member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada.

In this episode, I talk with Vicki Reissmann, a Senior Medical Writer with over 25 years experience in Clinical Research. But that’s not how she started out. Vicki studied biology and followed the traditional academic path through graduate school and a postdoc before ultimately leaving the lab and ending up in Clinical Research. We’ll talk about this transition, but first we’ll find out what her job entails and what her day-to-day is like.

Dr. Kaci Durbin is a medical writer and board-certified obstetrician. She currently works as a regulatory writer for a contract research organization (CRO). In her spare time, Kaci also provides freelance medical writing, focusing on continuing medical education (CME) materials and needs assessments. Kaci was employed at a private practice for 5 years and then transitioned into OB hospitalist work. She obtained an MBA, believing she would move into a hospital leadership position. But her experiences with management did not support her initial assumptions about the career. Kaci explored many nonclinical careers on the way to medical writing. In addition to healthcare administration, she performed chart reviews for insurance companies, dabbled in the disability arena, and served as a medical consultant. She discovered medical writing, joined the AMWA, took a writing course, and began her part-time freelance medical writing career. Initially, she was writing a variety of materials including CME enduring materials, needs assessments, manuscripts, and presentations. Then she began working as an independent contractor for a CRO. She now works there as a full-time technical medical writer focusing on regulatory documents.

"When you have five people and only three doors, people end up in the closet or the bathroom on calls." A medical writer shares a haiku about the COVID-19 quarantine. She has her daughters at home in Philadelphia, but her son is in Nashville-- near his old neighborhood hit by a tornado the year before, and married to a surgical recovery unit nurse. The situation reminds her about laughs, her worries for him, her grandfather, and even September 11. This was produced in a partnership with Jefferson Covid Stories and Humans of Jefferson.

Today I am honoured to be chatting with Dr Tim Crowe, career research scientist and educator, and founder of Thinking Nutrition blog and podcast.Tim has had a long and interesting scientific career ranging from medical research in cancer and diabetes, to dietetics and teaching in the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at Deakin University for 16 years - where our paths crossed. Tim’s real passion is communicating and translating nutrition research - three years ago he left academia to pursue this interest full time. Part of Tim's freelance career includes his Thinking Nutrition blog and his new Thinking Nutrition podcast. Both are excellent resources - links are below.We discuss why nutrition can appear confusing, how to make sense of it and some of the things that have changed in the field of nutrition as more scientific research is undertaken, for example, the management of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with a low FODMAP diet. However, much of the advice about healthy eating, like including plenty of fruit and vegetables in your meals, has not changed since Tim has been working in the area and he weighs in on how various dietary trends come and go. We touch on some of the future direction in nutrition such as nutrigenomics (the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health) but, according to Tim, where it’s at is the gut microbiome, an area of research that he watches avidly.If you want to follow Tim, read his blogs and/or listen to his podcasts, which I highly recommend, look no further:Podcast: search “Thinking Nutrition” on all good podcast providersWebsite (blog): https://www.thinkingnutrition.com.auFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinkingnutrition/Social media handle @doctimcroweHere are the links to The Peak Health bodies (health and food pages) Tim refers to in the podcast:Cancer Council: https://www.cancer.org.au/preventing-cancer/nutrition-and-physical-activity/food-and-nutrition.htmlDiabetes Australia: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/food-activityThe Heart Foundation: https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/healthy-eatingAustralian Dietary Guidelines: https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelinesTim mentions the excellent resource Examine.com (https://examine.com) for science based nutrition and supplements information.

This episode is with Benedict Carey, science and medical writer for the New York Times. Ben has been a science writer since his first job out of journalism school in 1987, writing for the San Francisco-based medical science magazine Hippocrates. For the New York Times Ben has published numerous articles about mental illness and is the author of the 2015 book, How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When, Where, and Why It Happens. Scientific American reviewed his book, saying, “How We Learn is more than a new approach to learning; it is a guide to making the most out of life. Who wouldn’t be interested in that?” Among many awards, Ben was a recipient of the 2016 Erik Erikson Institute Prize for Excellence in Mental Health Media. He is a long-time friend of those who care about individuals with mental illness and has joined with them is seeking to find and report on emerging solutions. We first hear from Ben as a journalistic leader in the mental health field and then address three main talking points: 1) Seeing a diagnosis as a "setback" and something to inform a lifelong process of learning about oneself. A diagnosis does not define and should not limit a person. 2) Actual mental health recovery seems to come from adaptation and experimentation: if 'adaptation and experimentation' is the better approach how can the professional, family, and person who is in distress engage most effectively with this dynamic process? 3) The real experts of mental health recovery are "psychiatric veterans" and we need to listen more to those who have been “set back” by mental health challenges and learn how they have learned to manage their recovery.

Freelance medical writing can be a great nonclinical career for several reasons: It can be started part-time. There is a lot of flexibility. The demand for writers continues to grow. It does not require a big cash investment to get started. But it’s probably best-suited for physicians with a certain personality. My guest, Dr. Emma Nichols, addresses all of these issues in today’s interview.  She has a doctorate in molecular biology.  And, she’s a seasoned medical communications professional specializing in continuing medical education and news writing.  Her company, Nascent Medical, provides expert medical writing services through its team of experienced MD- and PhD-level writers. As she was building her company, she needed to vet and train capable writers. That led to developing a course to train freelance writers in all aspects of the business. Dozens of physicians have launched their own writing careers as a result of the training provided by Dr. Nichols.  I’ve personally spoken with several writers who have recommended her course. So, I thought she'd be an excellent guest for the PNC podcast. If you’ve considered a career in medical writing, Emma provided some great advice during our interview.  She described the benefits of a career as a freelance medical writer. And she outlined the personality traits that best fit such a career.  She suggested that writers start out by writing part-time to see how well they like it. She mentioned the American Medical Writers Association (aka “AMWA”) as a good resource for physicians considering a writing career. It’s next big annual meeting – the 2018 Medical Writing & Communication Conference – is being held in Washington, DC from November 1st through the 3rd.  She also told us about a free webinar she’s hosting called “Freelance Medical Writing -- A Lucrative Work-From-Home Career Choice.”  The webinar is being held on Thursday, October 25th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. It’s a very good way to learn more about freelance writing. She’ll be going into more details about some of the topics we covered, including the potential salary expectations. To sign up for the webinar, just go to 6weekcourse.com. You can download a transcript and links to resources mentioned in today's episode by going to the show notes at vitalpe.net/episode056.

Date: December 16, 2010 Featuring: Bill Thatcher, Executive Director, Cautious Patient Foundation Barbara Balik, RN, EdD, Senior Faculty, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Tricia Pil, MD, Pediatrician, Medical Writer, University Health Sciences Project Coordinator, Patient Activist Charles Maclean, PhD, Founder, PhilanthropyNow  The activated patient and family member – often seeking to ensure that whatever “bad” thing happened to them doesn’t happen to anyone else – is, thankfully, no longer a new phenomenon. Today in the US, hundreds of organizations of all sizes and reach are gaining a voice and the expertise to help solve some of health care’s most intractable quality and safety problems. The rapid growth of patient advisory councils is just the latest example of patients becoming an integral and integrated force in the redesign of care. On December 5, 2010, thanks to the generosity of the Cautious Patient Foundation and others, some 50 patient leaders gathered at IHI’s Annual National Forum to consider their work to date and how, by combining forces, they can be an even more effective force for change. This WIHI shares the energy and discussion from the Leadership Summit for Patient Activists and Partners in Quality and Safety, featuring four people whose work has been crucial to laying the foundation for a new era of patient activism. We’re all patients at some point, and that common experience – and sometimes unfortunate experience – is what’s bringing physicians, researchers, lawyers, parents, and every combination you can think of together to compare notes and plan for the hard work ahead.
