    Hello Everyone!

    I am thrilled to be a part of this community and to connect with professionals in the field. I am a recent M.Sc. graduate in Chemistry, and have begun looking into regulatory medical writing as a career. I am eager to learn more about drug and biologics regulations in North America and the best practices to adhere to them. 

    I believe that regulations play a vital role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical products and treatments. Clinical trial regulations appeal to me, as I want to use my knowledge and skills in science to make a positive impact. In this pursuit, I have been studying the RAPS "Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical and Biologics" textbook and have enjoyed learning more about the complex processes involved. However, as a novice in the field, I know there is still so much to learn about this topic that cannot be learned in a textbook. That's why I would like to reach out to those with more experience in this area.

    If you are a seasoned medical writer with experience in navigating these regulations in North America, I would love to hear from you. I am open to connecting over a virtual meeting or phone call to discuss your experience in the field, the challenges you faced, and how you have managed to overcome them. I am particularly interested in hearing your insights on how to best start a career in the field!

    So, if you are someone who has been in the medical writing field for some time and can spare some time to share your knowledge and experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about this exciting field! If you are unable to message me on the RAPS website, feel free to send me an email at jerasi@ualberta.ca.

    Thank you for your time,

    Jeremy Jerasi
