Medical Education Startup Joins Health2047’s Portfolio
Health2047, the Silicon Valley-based innovation subsidiary of the American Medical Association (AMA), has introduced the latest addition to its portfolio of startups. ScholarRx is a curriculum system that seeks to modernize medical education development and delivery via customizable, reusable and interconnectable learning units.
The ScholarRx solution features a platform with modular “bricks” of customizable learning content powered by an open authoring tool that makes it easy for institutions and educators to create more personalized and meaningful medical learning experiences.
“Health2047 is proud to partner with ScholarRx on its important work in healthcare education innovation,” said Lawrence K. Cohen, CEO of Health2047, in a statement. "The company’s work filling curriculum gaps, increasing access to valuable resources and accommodating different learning styles for students is crucial to training the next generation of talented doctors."
The company develops a suite of digital medical education tools that leverage interactive media and learning analytics to evolve with student needs, increase engagement, improve knowledge retention and enable personalized learning pathways. ScholarRx said this approach ensures that learners have access to content that is current, instructionally-sound and aligned with their goals.
The team at ScholarRx says it has developed the first global health sciences curriculum exchange and an extensive library of multi-competency medical education content that is ready to be integrated into any existing curriculum or learning environment. With this growing library and its open authoring platform, educators can create tailored learning experiences for students no matter what their needs may be.
