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
