FAQs

    1. Explore. Get to know the continuing medical education world.

    2. Engage. Connect with your CME peers.

    3. Educate. Learn how to create learner-centric formats and deliverables.

    4. Evaluate. Make sure your skills are market-ready.

    5. Elevate. Share your expertise with others.

  • One of the concerns that I hear from clinicians, academics, and researchers interested in becoming CME writers is they feel they are starting completely over.

    Yes and no.

    Your current knowledge and expertise are valid and valuable.

    Whatever your previous profession, you have incredible breadth and depth of expertise.

    You might be in a new space with lots to learn.

    You might be feeling a little lost.

    And I know from my own experience that there is sadness attached to leaving one profession for another venture.

    It might feel as though you are shedding an identity.

    (You are. It’s important to honor and acknowledge that.)

    But while your identity evolves, you don’t lose the knowledge and expertise you've acquired and achieved.

    You were a clinician. Now you’re becoming a CME writer. And your incredible expertise is relevant to this field.

    It’s relevant because you have clinical context. You know what it’s like to care for patients.

    It's relevant because you know how challenging it is to translate knowledge into practice.

    Do you need to earn new skills?

    Absolutely.

    How will you do that?

    Through practice. Step-by-step.

    And WriteCME Pro is here with a roadmap.

    The field of CME writing is waiting for you.

  • It’s common for new-to-the-field CME/CEHP writers to be daunted by the breadth and depth of this community. Recognize the expertise and skills that you bring from your professional life to date and explore how they might translate to what CME/CEHP education providers need from writers. Being clear about your skills and services will help you to get your foot in the door.

    A good starting point is to identify strengths and weaknesses and pinpoint areas to highlight and those that need work. Consider questions such as:

    ✅ What am I good at?

    ✅ What do people compliment me on?

    ✅ What do people ask me for help with?

    After compiling your list initially, ask family, friends, colleagues, or a mentor for their input. Alternatively, you can utilize online templates or tools such as the CliftonStrengths Assessment or a SWOT Analysis to identify your strengths.

    The challenge of learning the rules of a new game is the same for breaking into a new field. You need the experience to get experience!

    Create samples for your portfolio to take ownership of building this experience. In addition, showcase your skill set with a couple of pieces of work to give potential clients confidence in your ability to deliver.
