one thing to look for would be a program that either
insists on or encourages internships/field periods to
gain on the ground experience.  schools that insist on
them will usually set aside time for you to do the
internship.  The benefit is that as an internist your
not expected to know as much and you gain experience
that you can put on your resume, and will also learn
if tech writing is what you really want to do. 
schools that are big on hands on training will
generally give you a better education by giving you
the theory, pratical, and actual knowledge in your
chosen field  (in my humble opinion).  


good luck with school!
