What Pri Med does

Pri-Med is a Boston-based continuing medical education (CME) and continuing education (CE) provider founded in 1995, operating as a division of Diversified Communications under the legal entity DBC Pri-Med, LLC. The company serves a community of 168,000+ actively practicing clinicians across the United States and Canada, with primary customer segments including primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and (for free, non-credit access) medical students and residents. Pri-Med's content is certified by its affiliated accreditor, Pri-Med Institute, LLC, against AMA, ACCME, AANP, AAFP, and ABIM standards, and is produced in collaboration with academic medical center faculty from Baylor College of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and David Geffen School of Medicine.

The platform is built around a web-based learning management system at pri-med.com and bootcamp.pri-med.com, with a Pri-Med Events mobile application for conference attendees, a personalized credit tracker that records CME credits earned across live and on-demand activities, and state-specific CME requirement pages covering all 50 states. The product surface spans 400+ on-demand courses across 70+ topic areas, weekly podcasts, webcasts, and a blog; 12 annual in-person conferences across five major US markets (East/Boston, South/Fort Lauderdale, Southwest/Houston, West/Anaheim, Midwest/Rosemont) plus 8 regional cities; two branded virtual conference series (PrimaryCareNOW and CardiologyNOW); and subscription-based Bootcamps for NP/PA, Mental Health, and Cardiology audiences. A new product line of expert-curated 90-day CME/CE Packages extends the monetization surface.

Pri-Med monetizes through conference registration fees (with free access for cardiology-focused clinicians and for medical students/residents), annual Bootcamp subscriptions with a 14-day refund window, CME/CE Packages, and event sponsorships and exhibitions sold through sponsor.pri-med.com, with an additional institutional channel via Pri-Med Academy purchase orders. Go-to-market combines self-serve digital acquisition through free account creation and content marketing with an event-driven motion anchored on in-person and virtual conferences. The company has been recognized through the Clusivity "Certified Inclusive Events" designation and operates under the Pledge to NetZero Carbon Events by 2050 initiative through its parent.
