Aspiring medical writers: experience awaits.
Aspirations is our unique scheme for aspiring medical writers. You’ll gain paid experience on a freelance, remote (UK only) basis, alongside your existing commitments. You’ll be exposed to real projects, guided by our expert team, and get genuine insights into the day-to-day role of a medical writer.
It’s your chance to experience Aspire’s unique culture, commitment to excellence, and focus on impact – it also allows you to showcase your talent!
Aspirations is currently on hold while we refresh the format to ensure we continue to offer an inspiring experience that prepares aspiring medical writers for our evolving industry.
Look out for our relaunch – you’ll find details and how to apply here first!
Our Aspirations story so far
From our foundation in 2012, we’ve offered hands-on paid medical writing experience to PhD students, academics, and healthcare industry professionals. We formalised this programme as ‘Aspirations’ in 2021 and have since worked on projects with 135 aspiring medical writers.
Many of those people have gone on to join the industry, and we’re delighted to have 17 alumni as permanent members of our brilliant team. We’re proud that several have been with us for years and progressed to senior roles, reflecting the strength of Aspirations and our commitment to nurturing talent.
