Results of the 2017 EMWA salary survey

Abstract

EMWA conducted its first salary survey in 2006 to which 145 employed EMWA members responded.1 The survey was repeated in 2012, with 320 members responding.2 A third survey was conducted in 2017 and is reported here. Although separate surveys were previously conducted for freelance medical writers (including 63 freelancers in 2003, 101 in 2007, 130 in 2010, and 123 in 2013),3–6 the current survey included both freelancers and employed medical writers, which allows for comparison of incomes and patterns between these 2 groups.
