WebCME

What WebCME does

WebCME is a private online medical education company founded in 2005 and headquartered in West Allis, Wisconsin. The company produces continuing medical education (CME) courses delivered through a self-serve web platform, with a portfolio concentrated in wound care and hyperbaric medicine. Its flagship offering is the 40-hour Hyperbaric Medicine: Principles & Practice course (2nd Edition released June 2024), supplemented by a Wound Care Review Course and live streaming events. The platform is built on LearnWorlds e-learning infrastructure with Vimeo for video delivery and Stripe for payment processing. CME credits are issued through partner Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI), which holds ACCME accreditation, and content is endorsed by the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine (ACHM).

The company monetizes primarily through one-time course purchases by individual healthcare professionals — physicians, nurses, fellows, advanced practice providers, and allied health workers — who have one year from purchase to complete activities and earn certificates. Course pricing is not publicly disclosed, though a 40% promotional discount has been observed. Go-to-market is product-led and digital-first: self-serve enrollment via webcme.net, email newsletter capture, organic social presence, SEO-optimized course catalog pages, and customer testimonials as social proof. Faculty includes nationally recognized wound care specialists (Dr. Jeffrey Niezgoda, Dr. Thomas Serena, Dr. Tyler Sexton), and the company holds California Board of Registered Nursing approval for nursing contact hours.

WebCME has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no management team publicly listed. It is privately held and founder-led, with a small employee base (11–50) and a single geographic market (United States). Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer through the company website; enterprise/institutional sales motion is signaled by sign-up form fields capturing company size but not evidenced by named institutional customers. The product surface is narrow, the customer base is long-tail individual practitioners, and the business operates as a focused niche CME provider rather than a scaled education platform.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• NetCE: Accredited online CME/CE provider offering self-paced courses for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. Comparable in business model (online accredited CE, individual learners) and overlaps on clinical topics like wound care and chronic disease management.
• MedBridge: Subscription-based online education platform for healthcare professionals with strong presence in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and wound care certification. Direct competitor in the online clinician education space with overlapping wound care content and a more enterprise/employer GTM.
• Wild Iris Medical Education: Accredited online CME/CE provider for nurses and allied health professionals with catalog covering wound care, geriatrics, and clinical topics. Closely comparable business model (online self-paced accredited CE courses) and overlapping nursing/allied health customer base.
• ContinuingEducation.com (by Education To Go): Long-running online continuing education marketplace offering accredited CE courses for healthcare and other licensed professionals. Comparable as an online accredited CE destination for individual practitioners with a self-serve purchase model.
• Elite Healthcare: Accredited online CE provider for nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals across multiple specialties. Direct peer in online accredited continuing education with similar self-serve, individual-practitioner model and comparable course catalog breadth.

Broad incumbents

• HealthStream: Public healthcare workforce development and LMS company used by hospitals for staff training, compliance, and continuing education. Comparable on the institutional/employer side for healthcare staff training, but operates at much larger scale and across many clinical and non-clinical domains.
• Pri-Med: Large multi-specialty online CME platform offering free and paid CME/CE courses, live events, and point-of-care tools to US clinicians. Comparable as a broad CME destination competing for the same healthcare professional learner, though it serves many specialties beyond WebCME's wound care/hyperbaric focus.

Emerging players

• CE Broker / CE21: Online continuing education marketplace and tracking platform serving licensed healthcare professionals. Comparable as infrastructure for completing and tracking CME/CE compliance, though it functions more as a marketplace and compliance tracker than a content producer like WebCME.
• WoundSource / HMP Global: Wound care-focused clinical education and resource site, part of HMP Global's medical education portfolio. Comparable as a destination for wound care clinicians seeking education and certification content, though HMP Global also runs live conferences and broader medical education.

Others

• Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI): ACCME-accredited provider and WebCME's accreditation partner, also producing its own clinical and radiology education courses. Comparable as an accredited CME provider in the same clinical education ecosystem, and directly tied to WebCME through the ACCME accreditation arrangement.
