The questions I’m asked about medical writing are often “how do I become a medical writer?” or “what is the best background?” or “what kind of training is crucial to success?” I’d like to humbly suggest that these are the wrong questions. I think a better question might be, “how do I know I’ll be happy as a medical writer?”
