About Physician's Weekly
| Informing Quality Connections Between Doctors |
| Physician’s Weekly was the first company to focus on delivering medical information at the Point of Care via wallboards in back offices and break rooms. Nearly 40 years later, Physician’s Weekly continues to be a trusted source of information and perspectives on medical news for both healthcare professionals and patients. |
| Our mission is to increase the quality of communication between doctors, their peers, and their patients by informing and connecting them through expert medical content in print and digital products. |
| Physician’s Weekly has a presence in more than 40,000 top medical institutions and group practices across the U.S., spanning more than 20 specialties. For medical professionals, we create and curate expert content that delivers reliable insights and practical applications on trending topics in medicine. For patients and caregivers, we provide authoritative, easy-to-understand (multi-lingual), and actionable content designed to empower them in moments of critical conversations with their care team. |
