Purpose
PeerVoice provides evidence-based medical education to healthcare professionals most in need of the knowledge, skills, and competence imparted by the education. Our mission is to facilitate the creation and distribution of clinically important medical education, to ensure access to the education by need-to-know clinicians, and to measure the outcomes and impact of the education. PeerVoice achieves this mission through our expertise in identifying gaps in education, content development, faculty selection, outcomes assessment, production and distribution for a variety of medical education formats (i.e, e-learning, video, and print). We believe in the development of innovative products and services that leverage at least one of our Group’s key assets in order to offer our clients a differentiated value proposition and build a sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, we believe that our individual target markets have special dynamics and circumstances which require market-specific expertise as well as influence in terms of how these products and services are launched and then enhanced over time. Our innovative, on-demand multichannel education solutions drive behaviour change in professionals and improve patient outcomes. They feature concise content designs and key thought leaders delivering the most relevant science. All our OLA and CME activities adhere to the rigorous guidelines set forth for independent medical education. We publish medical education across a wide swath of medical specialties, including:
Cardiology Dermatology Gastroenterology General and Family Practice Hematology Neurology Oncology Ophthalmology Psychiatry Respirology Rheumatology Urology
