As a veteran science journalist and contributor to Psychology Today and Harvard Business Review, I learned to make the complex simple.

Now, as a freelance medical writer, I’m applying those learnings to make CME easier to understand.

Can you tell me a little more about your writing background?

For the past fifteen years, I’ve been a science journalist contributing to top outlets such as Psychology Today, Harvard Business Review, and the World Economic Forum. I also wrote the psychology bestseller Persuadable (HarperCollins) selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of its books of the month.

Do you have any experience in healthcare or evidence-Based medicine?

Absolutely. I spent five years as a data scientist at Aetna/CVS Health specializing in preventative cancer screenings. There I designed and conducted some of the largest non-clinical randomized controlled trials in all of healthcare (more than 1MM Medicare members).

Why did you make the transition from science journalist to CME medical writer?

I know it’s customary to have a high-minded answer to this kinds of question, but the reality is less glamorous: science journalism wasn’t paying the bills so well any more. Thankfully, I found a wonderful second home in medical writing which has been equally rewarding.

Are presentation slides the only CME related deliverable Al provides?

While Al specializes in creating CME slide decks for enduring materials or live events, he also produces other CME-related deliverables such as needs assessments. Contact Al for more info on your particular project.
