About Us
Our Company
Our Company: We are a rare company that is profitable, growing over 100% annually, under 30 people and making a positive social impact. Our mission has attracted some of the smartest and most accomplished people in technology and medicine. You will be working with leaders who have advised Fortune 500 CEOs, built and sold companies to Google, and designed medical school curriculums.
Our Story
Our Story: We are a physician and engineer from Yale and MIT, respectively. We founded theMednet after our father, also a physician, was diagnosed with cancer and we realized how difficult it was to know what to do when the answers are not found in textbooks, guidelines, or papers, but rather trapped in the heads of experts. We created theMednet to document expert knowledge and give physicians everywhere access to that knowledge.
Our Mission
Our Mission: Help physicians access expert knowledge to improve patient outcomes. theMednet is the first-ever platform that delivers large-scale peer-to-peer education to community physicians with actionable insights back to pharma in one single offering. TheMednet was started in 2014 and includes over 40,000+ physicians in over 15 areas of medicine including oncology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, pulmonology, cardiology, nephrology and more. TheMednet was featured in Inc. Magazine as one of the companies changing the future of medicine.
Our Culture
Our Culture: Our culture is shaped by our mission and values. Our values are:
- Doctors First
- Have a Can-Do Attitude
- Take Ownership
- Treat Each Other Right
- Mission Driven Focused.
Our first value is our most important- any decision we make must start by asking whether we are helping physicians make better decisions for their patients.
Our Partnerships
Our Partnerships: We partner with organizations similarly committed to research, education, and high-quality care including the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and the American Neurological Association (ANA).
