Meducation is an online social networking service and educational website for medical students and doctors.
Meducation was created by Alastair Buick and Jeremy Walker in 2008.[2] In 2009 Meducation was awarded the Aungshuk Ghosh prize for innovative technology.[3] During 2013 Meducation raised US$1M of seed-round of funding, including significant funding from the UK's Technology Strategy Board.[4] At the time, the site was used by 30,000 medics including 33% of UK medical students.[5]
During 2015, the site refocussed its value proposition to "[evolve] into a curration and collation platform".[6] As a result many 'social network' features such as in-site messaging, friend requests, and groups were removed and the user interface re-focused. As of October 2015, the site reported having 86,000 users.[1]
