What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my clinical expertise in a writing capacity, ideally within a collaborative environment that values clear communication and continuous learning.

I am a motivated and clinically experienced Physician Associate with a strong academic foundation in Human Biosciences and Physician Associate Studies. My journey has equipped me with four years of clinical experience in general practice, where I honed my skills in patient communication, clinical documentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I am now seeking to transition into medical writing, combining my scientific expertise with a passion for clear and engaging communication.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in evidence synthesis and scientific interpretation, allowing me to adapt content for diverse audiences effectively. My experience includes producing detailed patient reports, referral letters, and consultation summaries, as well as creating patient information materials to enhance understanding of chronic conditions. I am comfortable delivering succinct verbal and written summaries, a skill I practice daily through transcribing patient notes and participating in multidisciplinary team meetings.
