Relias Media

What Relias Media does

Relias Media operates Clinician.com, a direct-to-consumer continuing medical education (CME/CE) platform targeting licensed healthcare professionals in the United States. The platform delivers accredited content across three publication categories — Emergency Medicine, Hospital Management, and Clinical Medicine — covering specialties including OB/GYN, neurology, cardiology, trauma care, primary care, and women's health. Content is delivered through specialty newsletters (e.g., OB/GYN Clinical Alert, Medical Ethics Advisor, Trauma Reports, Neurology Alert), on-demand articles, and annually refreshed books and study guides (e.g., Pediatric Trauma 2026, STEMI Watch 2025, Stroke 2025, Saving Mothers), each priced individually between $149 and $199. Accreditations span ANCC, ACCME, ABIM MOC points, and AAFP CME, allowing clinicians to fulfill licensure requirements across multiple professional bodies.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model: recurring subscriptions for ongoing CME/CE access and specialty newsletter content, paired with one-time purchases of books and study guides sold as perpetual licenses. Go-to-market is digital-first and direct, leveraging the Clinician.com storefront, organic SEO-driven article production, email newsletters, and a co-marketing partnership with FreeCME.com that provides free CME as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel. The company is a subsidiary of Relias LLC (Morrisville, NC), is privately held, and discloses no venture or private equity funding. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no mobile application, and no API surface — the offering is content-centric rather than technology-centric, with the core product being editorial publications and accredited educational materials rather than a software platform.
