What Med-IQ does

Med-IQ, Inc. is a US-based, privately held healthcare education company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, that develops and delivers accredited continuing medical education (CME) and continuing education (CE) programs to physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Founded in 2002 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medical Professional Mutual Insurance Company (Coverys), Med-IQ combines three core product lines: complimentary, disease-specific CME/CE courses delivered through its clinical.med-iq.com portal; assigned risk management and patient safety education delivered to specific healthcare organizations via med-iq.net; and patient and consumer education resources. Supporting these are content resources including the Our Voice blog, the Med-IQ Minute short-form video series, and specialty therapeutic content such as the Oncology Education Series covering HER2-targeted NSCLC treatment.

The underlying delivery platform consists of web-based course catalogs, an organization-assignment portal for enterprise clients, and a multi-channel content distribution footprint (blog, email newsletter, and four social media channels). Courseware is developed internally by an education design and content team and in collaboration with clinical experts in patient care, advocacy, risk management, and patient safety. The product portfolio is positioned as a unified platform combining assessments, analytics, and education to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce clinical risk, and advance patient safety.

Med-IQ's business model is multi-stream and grant-funded. Revenue derives from B2B contracts with hospitals and health systems for assigned risk management and clinical education, educational grants from pharmaceutical companies (Daiichi Sankyo is a named oncology education funder), and the implicit strategic-financial backing of Coverys, whose insured healthcare organizations form a captive enterprise customer base. Individual CME/CE courses are offered at no charge to healthcare providers. The company has not raised independent venture or private equity capital, has no public listing, and operates exclusively in the United States.
