History of the American Medical Writer’s Association Part 4

NOTE: This is Part 4 of a 7-part piece.  Part 5 will appear next week.  Click here for Part 1.  Click her for Part 2.  Click here for Part 3

It is sometimes fun to sit back and imagine what will happen in the future.  That is what I’m going to do today.  What does the future look like for medical writing?  Two possible scenarios come to mind.

When I think of the millions of baby-boomers who are now aging, it is easy to think that there is going to be a greater need for medical writing.  As writing is a very portable career, the increasing sophistication in technology and the need to be green means that more people will be able to work from home. This is good news for people who don’t like working from other people’s offices.

So far, we have a rosy picture. One fly in the ointment, however, is the fact that young people do not read much.  So the challenge is going to be how to convey medical information in a non-verbal form.  Recently I read of a computer game being used in spiritual practice.  Is it possible that computer games could be the venue for conveying medical information rather than the written word? Maybe all of us who now write will have to think about creating games, just as we now set up websites and blog.  Who knows? Instead of worrying about my daily blog or website, in ten or twenty years I might be spending my old age creating games about psychotropic drugs! 

 

If you wish to learn more about the American Medical Writers Association, a good plan would be to go to a local event. The American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC) is holding its annual conference and dinner in Washington, DC on Saturday, June 21, 2008. The conference will feature several courses on editing and writing geared towards medical, science, and other research-focused writers. The deadline for conference registration is fast approaching (May 16th) so be sure to contact AMWA-MAC if you are interested. For more information about the conference, download the conference brochure or contact Amy Hereford, the Chapter Conference Coordinator.

3 World of Warcraft Leveling Secrets Cuts Days off Your Next Speed Run

World of warcraft leveling is all about efficiency and speed. As a hardcore world of warcraft player since it's inception I have seen and tried just about every wow speed leveling known I think. Some have worked and some haven't others used to work and no longer due to patch changes and the way players simply play the game and other wow speed leveling techniques have tanked. When I say tanked I'm talking about down the tubes and not your Tauren War Machine Instance Tank. Ok with all that said I wanted to share some of the secrets behind world of warcraft leveling that I think every player out there can gain from.
