Does anyone on here work in medical communications/writing?

I have a few interviews coming up next week with medical communications agencies. I'm really nervous! I was just wondering if anyone on here works in medical communications or medical writing and has any words of wisdom or advice?

The interviews are for entry-level roles. I am completely new to the field so not really sure what to expect!

I did have to complete some writing tests before I was offered an interview which I passed.

Thank you!

I don't do this personally but have worked in agencies with others who do. I'd prepare examples covering being detail-oriented (lots of referencing!), excelling at customer/client service as clients can be very demanding, being creative in an environment where there's constraints/regulations that make it seem like you can't, and humanising scientific language.

Hopefully someone with more direct experience will be able to advise more, and good luck!

I dont directly work in this field but we do contract work to Medical Writers
I would say deadlines and detail are the 2 most important things

Thank you both! I will make sure I think up examples of showing those traits.
