What island are you on?

As medical doctors, it always surprises us how we are all working from our own islands in healthcare. We are all creating our own study materials, instead of sharing them between universities, hospitals and countries.

Let's build bridges together!

What if, from today, we would all start working together? Creating one compendium, in one language. Imagine all the time we would save, and how much more efficient we would be.

We have already built the first bridges

In 2015, we started our mission in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Compendium of Medicine in Dutch was born! We gathered a huge group of eager students and doctors, and started writing an encyclopedia using our own method. The book series sold out before launch, and soon we started making pockets. The overview of medical knowledge became accessible for both studying and during practice.

"We missed an overview in the medical curriculum and decided to work with students and specialists from around the country to write our own textbooks."

Expanding our mission globally

With the experience gained over the past years, we are committed to making a positive impact on medical students and healthcare professionals worldwide.

This new phase kicked off with the distribution of our Radiology pocket to all continents. We were amazed to have reached readers from over 75 countries! And this is just the beginning: we are actively working on bringing more pockets
to you!
