Considering a career in MedComms? If so, you’ll have lots of Qs about who the employers are, what MedComms writers do, & how you can learn more...

In this MedComms explainer video, I answer all these Qs and more:

PSA: If you're a grad student/PhD candidate (Especially in STEM, but others too), CREATE a LinkedIn profile. As someone part of interview/hiring processes in multiple industries now, THAT IS the first thing people will check.

[TheGradGrid - Career Development for Grad Students @The_GradGrid]

@MekhlaSinghania We would also recommend searching on LinkedIn for folks that are in "pharmaceutical industry translational research". Then reach out to them.
And perhaps post this on the GradGrid LinkedIn Group 👇 You'll probably meet folks who you can setup an informational interview with.

[Mekhla Singhania, Ph.D @MekhlaSinghania]

PhD students who now do clinical/translational research in the industry - what did you do during your PhD to land that job? Do you need a post doc to get an industry job? @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @academicvoices @firstphdchat #AcademicTwitter
