Across the industry, there is a shortage of experienced regulatory medical writers. At the same time, many individuals are looking to break into medical writing roles. This is an exciting opportunity for organizations to build their own bench by providing programs to develop emerging and early talent to fill this gap. Come hear insights from developers of early talent regulatory medical writing programs and team members who have completed those programs. Attendees looking to develop early talent programs within their own organizations will take away best practices and lessons learned. Those who are already managing or recruiting early talent will better understand how they can leverage employee skillsets and best position early talent for initial and sustained success as regulatory medical writers.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Identify different types of programs for developing new regulatory medical writers
- Apply feedback from developers of early talent medical writing programs and team members who have recently completed those programs
- Develop best practices for supporting, developing, and retaining team members who are new to regulatory medical writing
