Med.IQ academy

What Med.IQ academy does

Med.IQ academy, operating commercially as TribeMD Academy, is a Brazil-based medical education platform that delivers postgraduate programs, professional courses, and continuing medical education to physicians and healthcare professionals. The company is headquartered in São Paulo (Alameda Campinas, 579 – Jardim Paulista) and runs an EAD (distance learning) platform with optional in-person components for select programs. Its catalog includes approximately ten 360-hour postgraduate programs covering specialties such as cardiology, oncology, endocrinology, psychiatry, neurology, hematology, women's health, obesity and eating disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, metabolism and mental health, advanced psychopharmacology, vulvovaginal dysfunctions, and health economics/management. Shorter professional courses range from 30 to 200 hours and include Capacitação em Medicina Intensiva (30h), Monitorização Hemodinâmica Básica e Avançada (40h), and the flagship AI Prime (200h).

The core technology is an EAD content delivery platform; no proprietary AI, ML models, or platform architecture details are disclosed beyond the description of AI-enhanced programs. The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition: students self-enroll through the tribemd.com website and pay one-time fees for postgraduate programs or shorter courses, while freemium free courses serve as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel for upsell to paid programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and enrollment is initiated via WhatsApp or email. Go-to-market relies on specialty-specific resource centers, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), an events platform, and a community/connect section. The company is privately held, appears to be bootstrapped (no funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed), operates with a lean team of 8 employees, and has editorial leadership under Dr. Renato Lopes (Editor-chefe) and Dr. Pedro Barros (Coeditor-chefe). Its relationship to Med.IQ academy appears to be an alternate platform brand name referenced in customer-facing WhatsApp communications.
