"Our members include many medical writers, editors and other professionals with ties to the healthcare community," says Lindsey Alexander, the EFA's Events Subcommittee chairperson. "With its presentations, workshops and networking opportunities for medical writers and editors as well as other editorial professionals, AMWA's conference is the premier event for people working in this field and looking to develop their skill set," says Alexander.

"As a member of both AMWA and the EFA, I know that the AMWA conference is an excellent place to expand project opportunities for EFA members," says Katharine O'Moore-Klopf, consulting medical editor.
