A biomedical writer may work for a company that manufactures a product that is regulated by a government agency. That is where the term regulatory comes from. The government is regulating the product.
Example: A biomedical writer may work for a pharmaceutical company. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the prescription drugs manufactured by the pharmaceutical company. Before the drugs can be sold, the pharmaceutical company must submit documents to the FDA. These documents report on research that was conducted to show that the drugs were safe and that the drugs actually worked. A biomedical writer is involved in writing the reports that are sent to the FDA.
