It explores the roles and attributes of the writer, tips on winning your first regulatory writing role and help in deciding whether this would be the career for you, drawing comparisons with working in MedComms.

This issue includes seven personal profiles written by current specialists in regulatory medical writing, describing their personal journeys and the day-to-day work they now do.
