Amy Chung is a Senior Manager of Medical Writing and Communications at NeoStem who shared her passion for her career with ASPET.
I have an extremely diverse project portfolio each day: on any given day I work on anything from abstracts, to marketing brochures, to regulatory submissions, to congress booth exhibits! All of these projects are inter-related, and all activities boil down to effectively communicating the science behind my company’s products. As a result, some titles that a medical writer can wear on any given day are:
- data analyst
- medical liaison
- clinical educator
- literature landscaper
- quality reviewer
- editor
- project manager
