  MANAGING EDITOR – MEDICAL WRITER
  
  Coming to terms with a new diagnosis can be challenging. But finding trustworthy health information that you understand shouldn’t be. It takes a team of dedicated medical writers, physician reviewers and SEO analysts to develop and optimize the content so the content so it’s just a click or two away. That’s what we do in the Health Library: We answer the health questions that keep people up at night. And we do it in a casual, empathetic tone. If you love words and learning — and want to make a difference — then this job might be a great fit for you.

  What You’ll Do
  • Take pride in writing accurate, high-quality medical content with support
  from a strong collaborative team.
  • Consistently meet weekly writing deadlines.
  • Translate complex medical and scientific information into accessible and
  comprehensible language for the general public.
  • Ensure consistency and compliance with relevant style guides and
  standards.
  • Accept and apply constructive feedback from peers, SEO experts and
  medical reviewers.
  • Seek out and engage regularly with peers, creating an environment of
  exchange and learning. Openly share successes and failures to promote
  the group’s collective growth.

  • The opportunity to collaborate with experts in other fields, like a
  multidisciplinary team that includes a project manager, graphic designers,
  medical illustrators and web developers.
  • Engagement with physicians and researchers and other subject matter
  experts.
  • Continuing education experiences in science writing, research methods,
  statistics, plain language writing and more.
  • Familiarity with emerging trends, like artificial intelligence.
