Our take
Becoming a doctor is challenging, and this already demanding journey is further complicated by the intricate web of the medical education system. The current system often imposes restrictions on collaboration, fails to provide integrated resources, and lacks supportive examination boards.
AMBOSS was founded by doctors initially to help medical students overcome this, but has now extended to become a knowledge platform for all types of medical professionals. Today the company‘s products are used by more than two million healthcare professionals and students in over 170 countries.
The regularly upgraded knowledge base that the company has developed is an incredible growing asset. AMBOSS, however, will not rest on this and will continue to develop its smart learning technology to engage doctors even more deeply with their work so that healthcare works the best that it can for everyone.
