VP of Engineering
ABOUT US
Mednet is a free, physician-only community built to answer the complex clinical questions that define everyday practice. While most clinical support tools retrieve and summarize the same widely-available resources, Mednet surfaces the judgment, experience, and pattern recognition of leading experts. Our goal is simple: to give every physician access to the collective wisdom of medicine, no matter where they practice.
