About us > Story so far

Our mission at CMEPEDIA is to streamline the redistribution of healthcare education, enabling healthcare professionals to enhance their expertise seamlessly alongside their clinical responsibilities. By offering a diverse array of quality-controlled and accredited educational modules, we empower these professionals to remain updated and excel within their respective fields.

Through democratizing education and harnessing technology's power, we are unwaveringly committed to bridging the gap between developed and developing nations. We aim to ensure that every healthcare professional has the opportunity to thrive and make meaningful contributions toward elevating global healthcare standards.

Furthermore, CMEPEDIA is dedicated to simplifying the re-licensing process for healthcare professionals. Our mission is to establish a streamlined, paperless re-registration procedure and facilitate collaboration between Indian professional bodies and their international counterparts, enhancing the efficiency of the continuous education standards.

By uniting technology, collaboration, and an unwavering focus on sustainability, we are orchestrating a transformative shift in the landscape of medical education. Through these efforts, we equip healthcare professionals to achieve excellence within their careers, ultimately advancing the betterment of global healthcare.

Transforming Healthcare Education Globally

CMEPEDIA envisions seamless access to accredited learning, uniting healthcare professionals, content providers, and accrediting bodies worldwide. We aspire to be the pivotal force propelling equitable education, fostering collaboration, and raising healthcare standards globally.

CMEPEDIA redistributes quality-controlled educational healthcare modules at low rates. Content providers can expand their area of distribution globally without the need to invest in local agencies. Healthcare professionals can purchase these low-cost modules and avoid expensive subscriptions, enabling them to develop a portfolio similar to their colleagues in developed countries and assert that their skills are up-to-date. Professional bodies can rely on a standardized procedure of endorsements and do not need to invest in the development of software to verify the registration requirements of their members.
 
CMEPEDIA has been launched in India, but its methods can be extrapolated to any other country.
 
The terms for global business will determine whether users will be able to purchase modules readily via CMEPEDIA. CMEPEDIA aims for a worldwide rollout after its incubation in India. However, as we maintain a variable pricing policy by country, the initial requirement is to be registered as a healthcare professional in India before you can register as a premium user.
 
The Indian payment gateway selected has the broadest global outreach of all gateways. Do not hesitate to express your interest if you would like to avail of our services in your country. Our IT infrastructure is robust, and we love to spread our wings.
 
A WHO estimate suggests that the world will be short of 12.9 million healthcare workers by 2035. In 2013, that figure already stood at 7.2 million, almost double what it was in 2007. More than 70% of the deficit is in resource-poor countries of South-East Asia and Africa. Thus, this workforce must effectively manage its clinical time to deliver quality health care.
