Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have a substantial journalism, medical writing, or science communication portfolio plus editing experience — the 5+ year journalism bar is real. Clinicians without a newsroom or editorial track record will likely be screened out despite strong clinical knowledge.
Who should apply
Physician-writers, pharmacists, nurses, or healthcare graduates with 5+ years of medical/scientific journalism or editorial experience; clinician-journalists who have covered conferences, run publications, or managed freelance writers; rare disease specialists who want to pivot into health media leadership.
CV angle
Lead with published bylines, editorial or section-leadership roles, and conference reporting experience, then layer in clinical credibility: rare disease or specialty expertise, experience presenting at or covering scientific meetings, interviewing KOLs, translating trial data into plain language, and any freelance writer recruitment or budget oversight. Frame clinical training as domain accuracy and source access rather than as patient care experience.
Skills to highlight
- Medical and scientific writing/editing
- Conference coverage and live reporting
- Editorial strategy and content programming
- Fact-checking and scientific rigor
- Freelance reporter recruitment and management
- Cross-functional collaboration (advocacy, news, audience, commercial)
- Rare disease and clinical research literacy
- Audience engagement and performance reporting
Role summary
A remote senior editorial role at a rare disease news publisher, owning the strategy, planning, and execution of live and virtual conference coverage — curating agendas, assigning and editing stories, filing from the conference floor, interviewing researchers and advocates, and managing a freelance reporter roster — with 3-4 in-person events of travel per year.
