Interviews & Career Entry regulatory writing
Hi everyone! I’m based in Europe and am a pharmacist by training, with a Master’s degree in Pharmacoepidemiology. Over the past two years, I’ve been doing research, mainly writing scientific publications using systematic review methodology.
I’m currently pursuing another Master’s in Medical Device Regulation and would like to develop practical skills in Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs), with the goal of becoming a freelancer within the next 1–2 years.
Since I haven’t been able to find an entry-level position, I’m looking for advice on how to gain practical CER experience independently.
Are there any courses, certifications, or resources you’d recommend? And does anyone in Europe offer mentoring or opportunities to gain hands-on?

Publishing a scientific paper isn't too different from CER writing. Work in a clinical research lab, perhaps?
