About this role
ABOUT US
Founded by a Yale-trained physician and an MIT-trained engineer after their father was diagnosed with cancer, Mednet was created from a firsthand understanding of how difficult it can be for physicians to find answers beyond textbooks and guidelines.
Our platform helps physicians access and share that expertise to improve patient outcomes, delivering large-scale peer-to-peer education and actionable insights for the healthcare industry in one unified offering. Our company is profitable, has strong product-market fit, and is growing over 100% annually, all while making a meaningful impact in medicine.
At Mednet, you’ll work alongside people who have advised Fortune 500 CEOs, built companies acquired by Google, and designed medical school curricula—united by a shared mission to improve patient care.
