Advance Mag For Medical Laboratory Professionals

If you have a single information resource that tells you everything about your profession what would you naturally do? Do everything possible to have access to it of course.
That's what I did several years ago when the dearth of information of globla standard for medical laboratory professionals hit me badly. I wanted to be on top of my profession. I needed to learn from experts in my field who are doing exceptionally well. I thought so well and rightly too at that time that these experts must have some pubications they read regularly which others never have access to.
I wanted to crack the code. Along the line, I succeeded at getting one of my senior colleague resident in the United States to recommend his top 10 resources for me.
Top on his list was ADVANCE MAG FOR MEDICAL LABORATORY PROFESSSIONALS.

When I got the information, I quickly subcribed to it online. There is also the paid hard copy edition. The online copy is free but you must renew your subscription every year.

Advance magazine is a highly resourceful tool for professionals who aspire to be the best in their fields. Hot information on career path, financial empowerment and job opportunities plus lots more makes regular features in this high quality tabloid.

Opportunities In Medical Writing

The medical writing field is becoming explosive worldwide but without enough personnel. I first learnt about medical writing as an alternative career path for biomedical scientists and other professional in the medical field when doing a research work on freelance writing.
Although medical writing goes along with medical communications, the paucity of information on formal training and opportunities makes this post imperative to highlight basic information necessary to empower interested professionals with timely hints on this fast growing field.

This field seem to be highly developed in the United States which already formed the American Medical Writers Association. This Association offers basic certificate training in medical writing. You can check out more information on their website www.amwa.org

The American Medical Writers Association sponsors several certificate programs and offers medical writing training at its annual meeting and through local chapter affiliates.

The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is the only institution that offers an M.S. degree in medical writing. Also, James Madison University in Virginia created undergraduate and graduate program in technical and scientific communications. Rumor has it that a medical writing program is being organized at Maryland-based Towson University.

Great interest is currently being generated across the globe on this emerging career path. Trust that you'll get updated as the situation improves. If you are highly talented in writing and think you have all it takes to explore this opportunity, give it a shot.
