OnlineMedEd’s Core Values
Our mission is to elevate health care education and create better practitioners by helping students and faculty excel in the classroom and beyond
We offer these ten promises to promote excellence in training and eliminate the biases in medicine contributing to the health outcome disparities seen today.
Our Ten Promises
We have removed all traces of bias and stereotypes from our language and curriculum and ask our community to help us review and call out anything we have missed. Equity is core to our curriculum. Our online medical education platform is for everyone.
We don’t hide issues, we meet them head-on. Examples include the Intern Guide, with information on what to do when encountering racism, and Case X, including treating nonbinary patients, identifying sexual assault and trafficking, and navigating those conversations.
We created a focused investigative series for both patients and practitioners that explores the history and realities of racism in medicine and discusses ways to address them head-on.
Health care is for everyone regardless of age, sex, gender identity, race, cultural identity, or native language. This includes, but is not limited to, gender dysphoria (Psychology/Psychiatry) and transgender health (ObGyn and Surgery).
Systemic racism has prevented Black students from becoming practitioners for far too long. A more diverse pool of doctors means better outcomes for patients.

Every practitioner started out with a dream. We won't let the biases and prejudices of the past crush those dreams. By addressing diversity in medicine today, our goal is to let your dreams guide you to become great medical practitioners and leaders in your communities.
