"When I first starting working in the field of Medical Writing, I jumped directly into the research and writing without much discussion with colleagues and/or other stakeholders. I learned very quickly that this approach led to misunderstanding and misalignment on expectations and goals; leading to more work in the long run. Therefore, I implemented more communication into my process."
