The medicinal chemistry lead is concise and clear, giving a neutral overview of what the medicinal chemistry field is. Although the lead does not give a brief overview of the following sections in the article, it thoroughly explains the field of study and the types of compounds it is concerned with, which is helpful for understanding the science. The rest of the article is broken up into two major sections, with the first section containning five subsections. All information flows smoothly and is clearly written. Since the article is very broad, it provides a general overview of the drug discovery process, as well as the educational steps to attain a position in the field. Overall, the page feels very complete, with proficient writing and a broad overview on the topic for diverse readers interested in the science of understanding the educational path to become a medicinal chemist. The only section that could be improved is the "Synthetic Analysis" section that is not only shorter, but does not explain or mention techniques of synthetic analysis, only stating that synthetic analysis is subject to contraints while scaling up a reaction or when working with toxic comounds.
