Medical writers can greatly benefit from receiving mentorship, mentoring others, and learning how to keep themselves accountable through self mentoring. Through mentorship, they can get unique advice to accelerate their career development and connect or reconnect with the reasons that led them to become medical writers in the first place. In this personal piece, I share how different kinds of mentorship have impacted my career since I left academia to pursue medical writing. I hope this inspires others in the field to explore how mentorship can help them advance their careers.
