What Vumedi is, how clinicians use it, and why peer-to-peer medical learning matters more than ever.
Welcome to the Vumedi blog!
Since this is our first post, let’s start with introductions: who we are, what we do and why we believe so strongly in clinicians learning from one another.
First, the basics. It’s pronounced “view-med-ee.” The name comes from a simple idea: a place where clinicians can view medical education. But there’s another kind of view that matters just as much: the views of clinicians themselves. How they interpret new evidence, evaluate treatments and approach decisions in clinical practice.
For 17 years, Vumedi has helped clinicians learn from clinicians. What began as a video library has grown into a peer-to-peer medical learning community where clinicians learn through expert-led videos, podcasts and AI-powered tools.
Today, more than 640,000 registered clinicians in more than 21 medical specialties are part of the Vumedi community. Every month, physicians spend more than 4.3 million minutes engaging with educational content on the platform. The average active physician spends 52 minutes learning on Vumedi each month.
Why do physicians invest that time? Because medicine is advancing quickly, and staying current with new evidence is only part of the challenge. Clinicians also want to understand how their peers are interpreting research, evaluating new therapies and putting medical advances into practice.
Vumedi is built to answer that need, making expert insight and peer-to-peer learning available beyond any one institution, conference or professional network.
Why peer-to-peer medical education matters
Medicine has always advanced through clinicians sharing what they know.
A surgeon demonstrates a new technique. An oncologist explains how emerging trial data is influencing treatment decisions. A neurologist shares experience with a recently approved therapy. These conversations show how advances in medicine translate into patient care.
Published research and clinical guidelines are essential, but they can't capture every question clinicians face in practice. How are colleagues selecting patients for a new treatment? What challenges are they seeing? How are they weighing different approaches when the evidence is still evolving?
Hearing from colleagues who have faced the same questions provides context a journal article can’t.
As medical innovation accelerates, that exchange matters more than ever. Vumedi brings these perspectives together, so clinicians can hear directly from the experts researching, evaluating and applying new approaches to care.

Registration includes professional information used to establish eligibility for the clinical learning community. Clinicians may be asked to provide credentials or other qualifying information as part of verification.
What kinds of medical education are available on Vumedi?
Vumedi offers expert-led educational videos, medical podcasts and clinical discussions covering a broad range of specialties and disease states.
Topics include emerging therapies, clinical trial findings, evolving treatment algorithms, surgical and procedural techniques, and practical approaches to patient care.
Physicians can also explore educational content from medical conferences, hear researchers discuss new findings and learn how experienced colleagues are applying evidence in clinical practice.
How much time do physicians spend learning on Vumedi?
Physicians collectively spend more than 4.3 million minutes per month engaging with educational content on Vumedi.
The average active physician spends 52 minutes on the platform monthly, exploring new therapies, emerging research, treatment approaches and other topics relevant to their specialties.
Physician engagement continues to grow. Annual video starts increased 41%, from approximately 4.6 million to 6.5 million, reflecting growing use of expert-led medical education.
How does Vumedi AI help physicians find and learn from medical expertise?
Vumedi’s AI-powered tools help clinicians navigate a large and growing library of medical education, find specific information within videos and podcasts, and explore what different experts are saying about a clinical topic.
With AI-powered search, clinicians can find relevant content across the platform. They can generate summaries of videos and jump directly to timestamped moments in video and audio where an expert addresses a particular question, treatment or finding.
Through Ask Vumedi, clinicians can ask questions and explore responses that bring together perspectives from multiple physicians. Rather than relying on a single expert’s interpretation, they can discover common themes, differences in approach and a cross-section of viewpoints represented in the educational content.
For example, an oncologist exploring a new therapy might want to hear how different experts are interpreting trial results, which patients they consider appropriate candidates and where uncertainty remains. AI helps surface those conversations and makes it easier to go directly to the original expert content.
More than 150,000 clinicians have engaged with Vumedi’s AI capabilities, generating over 1 million interactions.
How does Vumedi make money?
Vumedi works with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other life sciences companies, along with their agency partners, to support physician education and engagement programs.
These partnerships help life sciences organizations reach relevant physician audiences, share educational information and better understand the clinical topics attracting physician attention.
Vumedi’s commercial business supports its broader medical learning platform and community.
Is it Vumedi or VuMedi?
You'll sometimes see our name written as “VuMedi,” including in older references to the company. That was our original branding, but today our official name is Vumedi, with a lowercase “m.”
Same company, same commitment to physician learning. Just an updated name.

How Vumedi is expanding medical education beyond video
Video remains central to Vumedi, but the ways clinicians learn on the platform continue to expand.
The podcast library has grown more than sixfold, giving clinicians more opportunities to hear expert conversations and clinical perspectives in a format that fits their schedules.
AI-powered search, video summaries and timestamped navigation make that growing library easier to explore, so clinicians can get to the moment that answers their question.
These developments reflect how clinicians’ learning needs are evolving. Different clinical questions call for different kinds of educational experiences, and clinicians increasingly expect to find relevant information and expertise when and where they need it.
For Vumedi, the goal remains consistent even as the technology and formats evolve: help clinicians learn from one another and bring new medical knowledge into practice.
What to expect from the Vumedi blog
We're launching this blog to explore the ideas, evidence and conversations shaping how physicians learn and how medicine advances.
We'll share perspectives on medical innovation, physician learning, emerging technologies like AI, and the trends we're seeing across the Vumedi community. You'll also hear from Vumedi leaders, medical experts and partners about the opportunities and challenges facing healthcare education.
With hundreds of thousands of clinicians learning across more than 21 specialties, we have a unique view of what clinicians are learning, which topics are drawing their attention and how educational needs are evolving. This blog will be a place to share those insights and explore what they mean for physicians, healthcare organizations and the life sciences industry.
Whether you're a clinician, medical expert, healthcare institution, professional society or life sciences partner, we're glad you're here.
Welcome to Vumedi. We look forward to learning together.
