Landing the first medical writing job is not easy. Clare Chang’s contribution describes her journey, the challenges she faced, and the different measures she took to overcome these hurdles. EMWA is very much aware of these challenges, as addressed at the 3rd Annual Internship Forum at the Spring Conference in Barcelona. Outside of the Spring Conference, EMWA members as part of the Ambassador Programme continue to spread the word about medical writing by giving presentations at educational institutions, careers fair, and other events.
