Coursera for healthcare

About

To provide the best patient care, doctors at every stage of their career must continue learning about advances in diagnosis and treatment of diseases in their fields in order to maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills. Unfortunately, the current system of continuing medical education is fraught with challenges, including variation in content quality, costs associated with traveling, lack of user friendly systems of tracking, and the inability to personalize one’s learning. The Open Medicine Project is an open education platform targeting continuing education in healthcare. By partnering with top medical institutions, our platform delivers open access, high-quality, evidence-based, interactive content to physicians worldwide. We use data analytics and adaptive algorithms to provide tailored content to those trying to learn efficiently. Through our virtual learning environments, users have the opportunity to collaborate with each other, facilitating a sense of community.
