Season 2 Episode 3: Continuing medical education with Sara Miller
Are you interested in using your graduate degree to educate others about science? You may think that this path begins with a PhD and post-doctoral position and ends in an academic career. However, what if you could pursue that path from a medical writing position to a continuing education expert working from home? In this episode, we join Wake Forest alumnus, Sara Campbell Miller, to discuss her career path and current position as Director of the Quality Improvement Institute at Med-IQ, LLC. We cover the vital role of science communicators in relaying pharmaceutical information to clinicians, self-motivation techniques for working from home, and tips for how you can enter this exciting yet often overlooked field.
