    Reasons to Join

    My participation in AMWA enables me to stay at the top of my game, as a medical communicator, and that enables my organization to stay at the top of its game in delivering health care and world-class scientific results to our audiences.

    —Michele Sequeira, MS, MBA, MWC

    AMWA has really helped me with my career. Somebody, in AMWA, has done something that you’re looking for...they have a template, they have resources to help you, and they’re always, always willing to share. So, the networking was definitely why I joined AMWA…and it has paid off in dividends for me.

    —Kimberly Mankiewicz, PhD

    AMWA’s education program gives you a framework to understanding medical writing and specific context that you can apply to the work that you do.

    —Reggie Wilson, MS

    I joined AMWA because I wanted to become a successful medical writer and really gain a network. That’s exactly what has happened.

    —Nayna Sanathara, PhD

    There’s no other organization like the American Medical Writers Association to support medical communicators. It’s the only organization that offers education, community, and opportunity. And the opportunity spreads across the entire lifecycle of a medical writer’s career.
