As a medical proofreader, your duties involve taking steps to review and edit medical reports. Your responsibilities include ensuring that the content meets your employer’s editorial guidelines and is free from punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors. You may also be required to format the documents and update a tracking system once you complete work. In this role, you use your keen attention to detail to ensure that the medical terminology used is accurate. Some medical proofreaders also work to redact parts of the text that could identify a specific patient so that the report adheres to medical privacy laws.
