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.
I've been developing ideas on what I can specialize in as a tech
writer in order to take my career to a new level. My last two jobs
have had a strong focus on health care information
management--building help files for applications that physicians use
in particular--and developing privacy practices for guarding the
information, and I did well at both.
So I'm getting the sense that this is something I am good at, and
would like to continue developing, but do not know where to take it
from here.
Are there certification courses in knowing HIPAA regs, for instance?
How would I advertise or market these specialties to employers? How
can I make inroads in this field without being a doctor msyelf?
