From Unseen to Unstoppable: How Medical Writers Grow Beyond CME Task Work to Creative Partnership


Listen Later

What if the work that feels invisible is the very thing building your expertise?

For many CME writers, the hours spent researching, editing, and shaping educational content happen behind the scenes — valuable, but unseen. Over time, that invisibility can blur your sense of value and readiness.

In this Write Medicine hot-seat coaching session, Gina Castiblanco PhD shares what it’s really like to navigate that in-between space — leaving behind a visible academic identity and learning to trust her voice as a CME writer and business owner.

Together, we unpack how professional visibility starts with self-awareness, boundaries, and the courage to say, “I’m ready, even if I don’t feel ready yet.”

By the end of this conversation, you’ll learn how to:

  • Reframe invisibility as part of your growth process — not proof that you don’t belong.
  • Use your academic and clinical background to shape a distinct CME writing identity.
  • Turn your unseen skills into visible value that attracts aligned clients and projects.
  • Shift from doing the work to owning the work — as a creative, strategic partner.

Stay to the end of the episode for three practical steps you can take today to start making your invisible work visible — and strengthen your visibility, voice, and value in the CME ecosystem.
