Will AI Replace Medical Writers? | Virginia Chachati | EP 9

Medical writing rates, AI-proof writing tests, and the telltale signs of AI-generated content: on this episode of The Pharma Perspective, pharmacist turned medical writer Virginia Chachati breaks down what it takes to build a writing career in healthcare today. Virginia explains how she went from community pharmacy to creating health videos with the NHS, why copywriting in healthcare comes with strict legal guardrails, and how France and China are regulating who gets to publish health information online. She also unpacks how to break into medical writing in the age of AI, from unpaid writing tests to pricing your work in the thousands rather than by the hour, and why marketing yourself matters as much as your skill, before closing on personal versus professional branding and what she's building next. Essential viewing for anyone in medical writing, medical communications, pharmacy, health content creation, or life sciences.
