Healthline seeks Blogger for Cancer Treatment and Survivorship:

Healthline.com is looking for a medical professional who is interested in contributing to our Cancer Treatment and Survivorship blog, viewed under the Health Talks section of our home page. Your blog entries will contain helpful information about cancer treatments and surviving the day-to-day struggle of living with cancer. Here’s how:

• Write short (generally 250 - 500 words), consumer-friendly blog posts at least three times per week.
