About Amy E. Sanders

Medical writer and physician educator specializing in translating complex neurological and genetic science into clear, actionable insights for clinicians, patients, and broader audiences. Board-certified neurologist with more than two decades of experience across clinical care, neuroscience research, and scientific publication. My work spans clinician-facing education, scientific synthesis, and patient communication, with a particular focus on making complex and often overwhelming medical information understandable, practical, and usable in real-world settings. Recent work includes clinical content development, literature synthesis, and educational writing across formats, including peer-reviewed publications, patient-facing materials, and board-style assessments. I have also reviewed clinical trial protocols, including AAV-based gene therapy programs. Author or co-author of 25+ peer-reviewed publications, including first-author work in major journals. I am focused on opportunities in scientific communications, medical writing, and medical affairs where rigorous science and clear narrative come together to improve understanding and decision-making. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, classical music, and baseball season.
