That's also a good tip for journalists of any stripe. I'm so glad you like SpecialtyBuzz. It was one of those ideas that came to me in the shower. Yolander and others keep telling me about the power of a specialty, so I guessed there must be others out there like me who have no idea what specialty they want to adopt. I'm hoping this helps!

That person is your best starting point when approaching a facility for the first time. Also, once they trust you and know you aren't out to do a hatchet job on the hospital, you'll get better access, so be sure to let them know when your articles run and where :-) The most valuable thing for some out of this interview is that process of getting access to hospital staff for interviews and etc. One very important bit of intel an aspiring medical writer should know–most hospitals have a public affairs or public relations officer.
