What University of Utah - David Eccles School of Business does

The Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine is the medical school of the University of Utah, a public state university in Salt Lake City, operating as a non-profit academic institution within University of Utah Health. It delivers a portfolio of accredited health-professions education including MD degrees, physician assistant training (UPAP, continuously accredited since 1971 and ranked among the top five PA programs nationally), residencies, fellowship specialty training, public health degrees, and medical laboratory science, supported by 1,000+ physicians and researchers across 23 science departments. The school also operates Rocky Mountain Cancer Data Systems (RMCDS), a cancer and disease registry software platform with over 50 years of history that serves 350+ hospitals and 14 central registries nationwide, providing registry software, abstraction services, expert registry support, and an emerging set of AI-driven analytics and reporting tools, all hosted on the University of Utah's Center for High Performance Computing infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through a mix of tuition and fees from medical education programs, subscription and multi-year contract pricing for the RMCDS software and abstraction services, pay-as-you-go and subscription pricing for ACCME-accredited Continuing Medical Education (UUCME) delivered via the CloudCME platform, and clinical services delivered through University of Utah Health, with additional support from state appropriations, federal grants (including NIOSH funding for the Division of Occupational and Environmental Health), and donations. The customer base spans health-professions students recruited regionally and nationally, hospitals and central registries nationwide, physicians and healthcare workers seeking continuing education, and rural and underserved communities served through mission-driven programs and the Southern Utah Regional Medical Campus.

Strategically, the school is investing in geographic expansion (Southern Utah Regional Medical Campus and partnerships with Utah Tech University, Intermountain Health, and regional AHECs), regulatory positioning (continued ARC-PA accreditation, ACCME Accreditation with Commendation, alignment with NAACCR/AJCC/SEER/CoC standards), and an AI feature roadmap anchored on a natural-language reporting tool for RMCDS scheduled for May 2026. Distribution is primarily direct, with clinical training partnerships functioning as a channel into rural and underserved populations, and conferences (NCRA, Rural Health Association of Utah) as a mid-funnel engagement mechanism.

Direct peers

• University of Washington School of Medicine (MEDEX Northwest): Operates one of the original MEDEX PA programs within a public academic medical center, sharing direct comparability on PA education model, mission-driven rural medicine training, and decades-long program tenure.
• Duke University School of Medicine (PA Program): Nationally ranked PA program embedded in a top-tier research medical school, comparable on PA/MPAS degree structure, ARC-PA accreditation, and use of academic medical center partnerships for clinical training.
• University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus: Public medical school with a prominent PA program, regional Mountain-West overlap, and similar focus on rural and underserved workforce training; comparable on scale, mission, and student profile.
• Baylor College of Medicine (PA Program): Top-tier private medical school operating a PA program with similar ARC-PA-accredited MPAS structure and comparable emphasis on clinical training partnerships and academic medical center integration.
• C/NET Solutions (cancer registry software): Commercial cancer registry software vendor serving hospitals and central registries, providing direct peer comparability to RMCDS on NAACCR-compliant registry platform, abstraction support, and reporting.
• University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine: Public Big Ten medical school with PA program, public health degrees, medical laboratory science, and CE offerings; highly comparable on portfolio breadth, public state-university structure, and rural/primary-care emphasis.

Broad incumbents

• Elekta (oncology information systems): Commercial vendor of cancer registry and oncology informatics software competing directly with RMCDS in the hospital/central-registry market, but operating within a broader radiation/oncology portfolio rather than a single specialized registry focus.
• Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine: Top-ranked medical school with MD program, research intensity, and affiliated clinical enterprise comparable in academic-medicine scale; offers similar CME and clinical training infrastructure though without a stand-alone PA program equivalent.

Regional players

• Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine: Pacific Northwest academic medical center comparable on structure, PA program offerings, and rural-health workforce training, but operating in a different geographic catchment.

Others

• National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA): Professional association that sets cancer registry practice standards and hosts the conference where RMCDS launches product updates; not a competitor but a critical ecosystem participant and standards authority for the cancer registry market.
