Dannemiller

What Dannemiller does

Dannemiller, Inc. is a privately held healthcare continuing education company founded in 1984 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The company delivers accredited online education primarily to Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), pain medicine physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and physician assistants. It holds Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education from ACCME, ACPE, ANCC, and AANA, and has been awarded ACCME Accreditation with Commendation, the highest level of accreditation, allowing it to issue recognized CE/CME credits across multiple healthcare disciplines from a single provider. The platform also supports MOCA 2.0 requirements for ABA-certified anesthesiologists and reports credits directly to AANA and ABA.

The company's product portfolio centers on two recurring subscription programs, AnesthesiaFile (up to 60 CE credits over 2 years) and PainFile (up to 40 CE credits over 2 years), which deliver monthly abstracted articles and audio content. These are supplemented by flagship one-time courses such as the Pain Review Course 2025 (34 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits across 28 lectures, priced $399-$599), shorter educational activities in the Pain Patient Forum series, and the monthly PainStracts publication abstracting 20 peer-reviewed pain journal articles. The technology stack is a web-based e-commerce platform with SSL-secured transactions, video streaming, account management, credit tracking, and certificate generation. Beginning January 2025, AI-generated voice recordings are used for AnesthesiaFile Premium APOD audio content, with human staff reviewing all outputs for accuracy. The company is operating from a single San Antonio office with 11-50 employees, has no external funding or parent company, and has been independently operated for over 40 years.

Dannemiller monetizes through a mix of individual module sales ($7.99-$22.00 per module), multi-year subscriptions, flagship course bundles, and tiered group/corporate subscriptions (5-15% volume discounts for 5-25+ seats). Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the dannemiller.com e-commerce store, with a growing institutional sales motion targeting hospitals, CRNA programs, and group practices. Marketing relies on the company website, email, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), and educational blog content targeting CRNA career topics. The company holds no disclosed patents, has not raised outside capital, and operates exclusively in the United States.
