I am a freelance indexer and editor who is interested in
applying my skills in the medical publishing industry. Can anyone give me
some pointers as to how to proceed?
I think you already know how to get work. What you need is experience and
some leverage on your resume. For the leverage part, you may want to
consider pursuing certification from the Board of Editors in the Life
Sciences. See the BELS web site at http://www.bels.org <http://www.bels.org>
