The company operates a portfolio of 14 wholly-owned subsidiary brands focused on continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD) for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals across cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, neurology, and women's health. Its flagship platform ReachMD delivers personalized digital education via a recommendation engine that tracks more than 350 user behaviors, distributing content across desktop, mobile, 24/7 radio streams, and email channels, with reach extending to 5 million+ healthcare professionals on 6 continents in 10 languages.

The technology ecosystem comprises multiple proprietary platforms: ReachMD (personalized education hub), MedEd On The Go (micro-burst 'Bankable CME' methodology), Kynectiv (branched-learning and decision-making), Avenue Live (audio/video engagement), TotalCME (Emmy Award-winning creative production), and Winding River Productions (creative studio).

The company has been recognized 12 times by MM&M, including three consecutive Gold Awards for Best Healthcare Professional Media Brand (2020–2022), and has won Telly Awards for 3D animation and online education.

US HealthConnect's revenue model is primarily based on educational grants from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostics companies that fund CME/CPD activities, supplemented by advertising and sponsorship from healthcare industry sponsors. Healthcare professionals access content at no direct cost, monetized through sponsor relationships. The go-to-market is B2B enterprise sales targeting pharmaceutical sponsors for educational grant funding, with content delivered through a multi-channel distribution network spanning ReachMD, Amazon Alexa, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and PlayerFM. Strategic partnerships with KDIGO, NCCN, and the National Eye Institute provide collaborative content development, and integration with IQVIA's Healthcare Communications Network supports HCP audience identification and targeting.

Direct peers

• Doximity: Professional network for physicians that includes CME offerings and pharmaceutical-sponsored educational content. Competes for HCP attention and pharma education/detailing budgets with a similar digital-first, personalized content model.
• Pri-Med: Provider of CME/CE activities through in-person conferences and an online learning platform, funded by pharmaceutical grants. Comparable in revenue model, audience (primary care clinicians), and multi-format delivery (live + online) to US HealthConnect's conferences and digital products.
• Clinical Care Options: Independent CME provider producing specialty-focused (e.g., oncology, HIV, hepatology) education funded by educational grants. Directly comparable in grant-funded model, ACCME accreditation, and deep therapeutic-area specialization similar to US HealthConnect's subsidiary brands like AXIS and Prova.
• Medscape (WebMD Health Network): Operates one of the largest free CME/CE platforms for physicians and other HCPs, funded by pharma sponsorships and advertising. Directly comparable in business model (grant- and ad-funded CME), audience (millions of HCPs), and product (multi-format accredited education) to ReachMD.
• MedPage Today: HCP news and education site offering accredited CME activities, supported by pharma advertising and sponsorships. Overlaps with ReachMD in serving practicing clinicians with on-demand, grant- and ad-funded medical education content.
• CME Outfitters: Jointly Accredited Provider of interprofessional continuing education serving HCPs across multiple specialties with pharma grant funding. Comparable as a mid-sized, multi-specialty CME company with similar accreditation profile and sponsor base to Global Learning Collaborative.

Broad incumbents

• Haymarket Media: Large medical communications company publishing HCP-facing brands (e.g., Clinical Advisor, MJH Life Sciences CME). Comparable as a broader incumbent offering multi-specialty HCP education and pharma-sponsored content, competing for the same sponsor budgets.
• Elsevier ClinicalKey: Elsevier's clinical decision support and education platform for HCPs and institutions, including accredited CME/CE. Competes with ReachMD for clinician learning time and for institutional pharma-funded education contracts, but at much larger scale and scope.

Emerging players

• DynaMed (EBSCO): Evidence-based clinical reference tool used at the point of care that increasingly integrates accredited CME. Adjacent competitor to US HealthConnect's CME/CE activities for HCPs seeking both reference content and continuing education credits.

Others

• KDIGO / NCCN (academic-society competitors for sponsored CME): Professional society partners (and at times competitors) that develop accredited CME with their own publishing arms. Comparable as a producer of grant-funded specialty education and a channel for pharma-sponsored HCP content, but structured as nonprofits rather than commercial CME providers.
