What Faculty of Medicine does

Faculty of Medicine, operating as FacMedicine, is a medical professional community platform serving verified practicing doctors. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with a regional operation in the United States, the company positions itself as the largest network for verified practicing doctors in the MENA region and worldwide, with 102,075 registered members, 56,346,995 cumulative website visitors, and 1,448,781 Facebook fans. Its core product is a single integrated platform that combines a medical forum, healthcare jobs portal, medical quizzes, paid medical surveys, contests for doctors, clinical-case second opinion discussions, medical news/research feeds, and CME/conference participation, all gated by doctor verification.

The technology stack is conventional community/forum software paired with a WordPress-based content site (facmedicine.com and forum.facmedicine.com), with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML, APIs, or SDKs. Revenue is generated through four streams: paid medical surveys (pay-as-you-go participation fees), healthcare job postings (transaction-based), advertising and social media marketing services for doctors and clinics, and CME/conference-related programs. GTM is community-led and self-serve, primarily through content marketing, organic social (Facebook), forums, and events; the company does not disclose pricing for its enterprise-style services.

The company is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investors, venture capital, or private equity disclosed. Leadership is small and doctor-led: Dr. Hesham Reda (Founder, Owner, CEO – Global), Dr. Malcolm Bohm (CEO – USA and English-speaking territories), and Dr. Nada El Garhy (Chief Editor, Editorial Director, Head of Engagement). Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and operational status is active based on recent content publication and ongoing user engagement signals.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Figure 1: Medical case-sharing platform used by verified clinicians for image-based case discussion. Comparable to FacMedicine's clinical-cases module but more specialized and smaller in audience.
• Cureus: Open-access medical publishing and case-report platform used by physicians worldwide. Adjacent in peer-reviewed case sharing and physician engagement, but more specialized in publishing than community/networking.

Regional players

• Practo: Healthcare professional community and patient-facing platform anchored in India/Southeast Asia. Comparable in horizontal doctor-network positioning and emerging-market focus, with stronger consumer/booking extensions.

Broad incumbents

• Medscape (WebMD Professional): Large, established medical-information and education destination serving physicians globally. Overlaps with FacMedicine on CME, news, and reference content but operates at much broader scale and as part of a larger WebMDMD portfolio.

Direct peers

• Sermo: Global physician community monetizing via paid medical surveys, market-research access, and peer discussion. Closely mirrors FacMedicine's paid-surveys-plus-forum business model and competes for the same pharma insight dollars.
• Doctors.net.uk: UK's largest verified-GP and specialist network providing email, education, forums, and job content. Comparable as a physician-only professional community with advertising and education monetization.
• Doximity: Largest US-based verified-physician professional network offering news, jobs, CME, and curated peer content. Highly comparable in core model (verified doctors, jobs, news, CME) and is the public-market benchmark for this category.
• MedShr: Clinical-case sharing and discussion network used by verified doctors worldwide. Directly comparable to FacMedicine's clinical-cases and second-opinion modules, with a similar focus on peer learning and continuing medical education.
• Coliquio: Germany's largest physician network for verified doctors, offering news, forums, CME, and marketing access. Comparable as a non-English-language professional physician community with advertising-supported monetization.
• DailyRounds (Docplexus): India-rooted doctor community offering clinical case discussions, surveys, and CME. Directly comparable to FacMedicine in emerging-market physician-network positioning, paid surveys, and case-based learning.
