Abstract

Howdy AMWA,
I have 2 children, and during this time of year, parents are asked to volunteer for career day. I don’t know about you, but when I tell people I’m a professional medical communication expert, most have never heard of our profession. Doctors, nurses, and scientists have well-established roles in our society, but medical communicators still remain off the radar of most young people’s career options. As I begin to describe what I do to my kids, their eyes often glaze over but, when speaking to friends and the public, many are interested and see the obvious value we, as communicators, bring to the health care fields and beyond. As I speak with students, scientists, doctors, nurses, and medical liaisons, I find myself telling them, “You are a medical communicator too.”
