Freelance medical writers and consumer health writers: Seeking Freelance Medical Writers and Consumer Health Writers for three types of diabetes newsletters with different target audiences (pharmacist, physician, consumer). Medical Diabetes Writers: Are you well-versed in the macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes? Do you understand the different roles and educational needs of pharmacists and physicians? Do you understand the challenges of being an independent pharmacist and what specific news would be relevant to one? Can you explain what the term 'absolute risk ratio` means? We are looking for quality medical writers (ie, who do not plagiarize, who use primary sources and provide references), who can easily digest clinical information and understand the educational needs of clinician audiences. We need you to write concise articles that speak to pharmacists and physicians, not about them. If you can answer 'yes' to two or more of the above questions, send me your resume. Consumer Health Writers: Do you have an understanding of the news needs of persons affected by diabetes? Can you effectively communicate clinical knowledge to a lay audience without making it too ‘cutesy’? Do you understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? Can you write useful, compelling articles in 250 words or less? If you can answer 'yes' to two or more of the above questions, send me your resume. What we offer: Competitive pay on a per article basis; the flexibility to cover stories that are of interest to you; the opportunity to work on other custom publishing projects that pay very well.
