You might have a scientific, academic or healthcare background. You might already be good at explaining complex information.
But when you start applying for MedComms writing roles, the process can suddenly feel opaque: what counts as relevant experience, how do writing tests work, and what are hiring managers really looking for?
I created Break Into Medical Writing to bridge that gap with insider knowledge, practical structure and clear next steps.
Why talented applicants get stuck
Most aspiring medical writers are not failing because they lack potential. They are struggling because they do not yet understand the rules of the MedComms hiring process.
They don’t know how to position themselves
Scientific knowledge needs to be translated into the skills employers are actively screening for.
They underestimate writing tests
Writing tests are often the make-or-break stage, and feedback is usually limited.
They sound interested, not credible
Hiring managers want to see that you understand what MedComms writers actually do.
