So what is a medical writing portfolio and what are the advantages of taking the time to create one?
It's important to know who is going to be looking at your medical writing portfolio. Your medical writing portfolio is also a great way for you to keep up with the progress you have made and look back at how much you have achieved over time.
A medical writing portfolio is worth it, and here's why.
Should you have an online portfolio or print it out? It's best to create it somewhere you can easily edit it and update it, and an online portfolio is ideal for this.
So what should you write about in your medical writing portfolio? Write about what you know to show you are confident. It's less about what you write, and more about how you write. Focus on a clear structure so it's easy to read and well laid out.
