TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well, to start, who is the client/customer and who is the end user? Here
are some of the prospective employers:
-- NIH for medical research
-- Pharmaceutical house
-- Medical benefits company, insurance co., etc.
-- Medical equipment co., including medical appliances, prosthetics
-- Medical research journal (The Lancet and New England J. of Medicine down
to hundreds if not thousands of Journals of Obscure Ills)
-- Medical journal, lightly technical
-- Medical textbook publishers (Saunders, etc.)
-- Grant-seeking medical research institutions
Normally you won't survive any of the above (except perhaps the benefits
firm) without a strong biology or allied science background. I believe
foreign medical grads who can't overcome the U.S. medical licensing
examinations barriers and escapees from nursing both offer good talent pools
for this well paid field.
