  • 1.  Any regulatory writers out there?

    Posted 08-Sep-2021 10:25
    Hello,

    I have just recently discovered that we have a chapter in Ontario so I wanted to introduce myself and say hi. 
    I'm a medical writer specializing in regulatory and clinical document writing. I've been at it for just over 15 years, some of it in med comms agencies and some of it freelancing. I live and work in Toronto. I joined RAPS to keep learning about regulatory affairs and to connect with other likeminded professionals here in Ontario.

    I am curious, are there any other regulatory writers on here? I'd love to connect with the regulatory writing community (if such a things exists).

    Hello Mariana,
    My name is Camille and I'm the current RAPS Ontario Chapter Chair - we're glad you've discovered our group!  We hope you are able to connect with others in the regulatory writing community.

    We are a relatively new chapter (started about one year ago).  We welcome professionals from various fields related to regulatory affairs and are aiming to host both educational and informal events for members and volunteers in the coming months.  

    Please feel free to also join our RAPS Ontario LinkedIn group, and to attend our upcoming webinar on October 22 (registration details to be published soon by RAPS).
    We welcome you to our community and look forward to further connecting with you soon!
    Best Regards,

    Hello Mariana,

    My name is Oxana Iliach and I am a member and volunteer at Ontario Chapter. To address your question regarding connection to the regulatory writing community: there is no stand-alone community as, for example, American Medical Writers Association (AMWA: https://www.amwa.org/). RAPS connects all regulatory professionals, including writers. If you have any questions about regulatory writing, feel free to post it here. We would be happy to help you.

    Hi Oxana,

    I am a member of several medical writing groups, but I haven't met too many (or any) regulatory writers. I suspect that's because reg affairs people often write regulatory documents but don't necessarily identify as medical writers. And there seems to be a paucity of regulatory freelancers. In any case, I'm happy I found this group, and I hope to learn a lot from you guys :)
