Marketing Lead

The Opportunity

MDCalc was founded in 2005 by practicing emergency physicians, Dr. Graham Walker and Dr. Joe Habboushe, to provide a platform that enables clinicians to achieve better patient outcomes, while also providing a superior UI/UX experience. Actively used by more than 65% of US physicians, MDCalc is the most broadly used medical reference – at the point-of-care – for clinical decision tools and content, and one of only four references used by >50% of US HCPs. These evidence-based tools and content are used by millions of medical professionals globally and support 50+ specialties and cover 200+ patient conditions.

While healthcare marketing budgets continue to be focused on the shift to digital tactics, spending aimed at HCPs now accounts for 53% of the marketing pie (source). Our user base and advertising partners continue to grow rapidly as we solidify our market position as the top point of care resource and advertising avenue.

To continue to further accelerate this growth, we are expanding the life sciences team with a marketing specialist. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who loves creating traction with buyers, while also helping to build and scale a business that has unparalleled reach to HCPs.
