You Don't Have a Workflow. You Have a Habit. AI in CME: Moving from Experimenting to Implementing
Playlists Curated Exclusively for You.
Most people in CME and medical writing are using AI. Fewer have an actual workflow — something documented, repeatable, and defensible enough to explain to a client or compliance reviewer. This episode explores why that gap matters, what a staged workflow looks like in practice, and why this is becoming a professional differentiator right now.
In this episode:
- Why "I try things and sometimes it works" is a ceiling, not a process
- The difference between using AI and having an AI workflow
- What the 2026 MedComms Freelancing Barometer tells us about where the field is right now
- Why documentation and traceability are the parts most people skip — and why that's changing
