[Hiring] Medical Writing Fellow @Eastwood & Cleef

Role Description

AAVBC is building the clinical backbone of value-based care — the documentation standards, coding frameworks, and educational tools that help providers get paid accurately and deliver better care. We're looking for a medically literate writer who wants to do work that actually matters.

This is not a ghost-writing role for a hospital blog. You'll be translating ICD-10 coding frameworks, CMS-HCC models, and clinical guidelines (ADA, KDIGO, AHA, DSM-5, ASAM) into tools that practicing physicians use every day — treatment plan templates, SOAP note frameworks, coding guides, podcast scripts, and quick-reference materials. You'll work directly with clinicians, coders, and policy strategists to get the content right.

If you're a medical student, PA/NP student, or early-career clinician who wants to build expertise at the intersection of clinical medicine, health policy, and healthcare finance — this is the role.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from medical school, PA, NP, or a related clinical program — OR — 1+ years writing for clinical or health policy audiences
• Ability to read and interpret clinical guidelines (you don't need to memorize them; you need to know how to use them)
• Strong writer: clear, concise, structured — you can make a complex topic scannable without dumbing it down
• High attention to detail, especially around clinical terminology, coding specifics, and regulatory language
• Comfortable managing your own deadlines and projects with light oversight

Requirements

• Write and maintain MEAT-structured documentation templates for high-priority chronic conditions (HCC-relevant: T2DM, CKD, CHF, MDD, SUD, and others across the top 100 by RAF impact)
• Build coding guides, quick-reference guides (QRGs), and clinical toolkits aligned with ICD-10-CM, CMS-HCC V28/V29, CPT, HEDIS, and CMS Star Ratings
• Develop SOAP note templates and treatment plan content that integrates documentation best practices for VBC settings and audit readiness
• Script, produce, and edit podcast episodes covering VBC policy updates, coding changes, and clinical excellence topics
• Own the full lifecycle: research → scripting → coordination with clinical SMEs → editing → publishing
• Monitor CMS, NCQA, and payer guideline changes and translate them into actionable writing deliverables
• Produce briefs and summaries that help providers and their teams respond to regulatory shifts without needing a law degree
• Interview clinicians and coding auditors to validate content accuracy
• Edit SME submissions to maintain quality, consistency, and clinical credibility across all AAVBC outputs

Benefits

• Hands-on exposure to the business of medicine — HCC risk adjustment, quality measurement, VBC contracting — the things med school doesn't teach
• Byline-worthy work product that builds a professional portfolio
• Direct collaboration with clinicians, medical directors, and health policy professionals
• Competitive contract compensation
• Flexible hours, fully remote
