Medical writing as a function became established in the pharmaceutical world because the industry recognized it
requires special skill to produce well-structured documents that present information clearly and concisely. A
growing number of new drugs go through the increasingly complex process of clinical trials and regulatory
procedures that lead to market approval. This drives a demand for well written, standards-compliant documents
that science professionals can read and understand easily and quickly. Regardless of the type of medical
writing, companies either assign it to an in-house writer, or "outsource" it to an external medical writer or medical
writing service.
