How we started
Horizon Medical Education, a social enterprise, is an online clinical education provider. Created by doctors with years of clinical and teaching experience both in the UK and internationally.
Whilst working with Primary Care Clinicians in Zambia and Malawi we saw their ambition and appetite for professional development but a gap in accessible provision.
Established in 2019, Horizon Medical Education was founded to fill this gap.
We produce free high quality evidence-based medical education for healthcare professionals aimed at low resource settings. All our lessons are updated, evidence based and downloadable so learning can happen offline.
We want to be sure that the courses are relevant so we talk to our users regularly, matching our content to their clinical priorities and, this way, we're creating a community of learners. That's how we met Margaret, here, a keen learner who gives us truly constructive feedback.
Our courses are designed for easy access with downloadable content, are accredited and cover a diverse set of topics with primary healthcare at the heart. We have learners in over 90 countries. Our core learners are Clinical Officers, (also known as Physician associates and Community Health Officers) but we have many health professionals using our courses and all are welcome, from nurses and midwives to physiotherapists and doctors.
Access to quality education for Primary Care Clinicians benefits everyone. Online lessons reach the remotest clinicians and most underserved communities. It's a simple idea really.
