Essie B.

M.D. Expert Medical Writer and Transcriber

I am a retired physician and a medical writer and transcriber. The three of those roles come together in the jobs that I take as a freelancer. My medical career required routine reports, consultations, and the pamphlets I wrote for my patients to understand various conditions. The 400+ blog entries that still sit online were my way to share both personal health journeys and medical information that I thought was useful. When my clinical career ended, I began freelancing with the skills I already possessed. I was an experienced transcriber although it had been many years, so I took transcription jobs. Now I have more than 10 years of professional transcription experience. I was hired for a few medical writing jobs, too. The biggest was a book chapter on the eye, written for student pilots. From 2023-24 I worked for American Medical Experts, training, researching, and composing Nexus letters for disabled veterans. This is another service I offer on Upwork. If you hire me for your project, you will have my attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and enthusiasm for the work. I am available for frequent communication. I respect deadlines. I always bring my full knowledge and experience to the project.
