    I am biomedical and regulatory scientist with little experience on medical writing. I worked for 9 years in an analytical microbiology lab and concluded recently my Master in drug regulatory affairs. Thus I am pondering to change my career and pursue a new one in medical writing particularly in the area of regulatory science. Any idea where to start? Kind regards, Girmish
