In this episode of the PNC podcast, Sarah Campbell offers her expert advice for landing freelance assignments to fledgling CME writers.
NetCE is a continuing education company that has been producing online education for health care professionals for many years. Sarah as spent much of her career working there as the Director of Development. In that role, she works with planners and authors to develop the materials NetCE produces.
Continuing Medical Education materials are a major component of NetCE's products. As such, it is constantly looking for new content and CME writers to produce it.
The topics should be timely and widely applicable, and the writing evidence-based and well-supported by references. They should also be topics NetCE has not covered before. It helps greatly if the writer has a genuine interest and expertise in the subject matter.
For example, NetCE worked quickly to develop a course on COVID-19. An established writer for NetCE worked on an expedited schedule to meet the need. In most cases, however, they can predict new course requirements and plan for them in advance.
You can hear Sarah's advice for CME writers, and her overview of the medical writer's process for submitting manuscripts and getting paid, by listening to the complete interview.
