## Overview[edit]

DKBmed was founded in 2002 by Dean Beals, a CME professional with over 25 years of experience, and is headquartered in New York City.[6]

DKBmed has been at the forefront of developing innovative educational programs that facilitate engaged learning and provide critical information to healthcare professionals. The company specializes in creating stimulating medical education programs that are accessible and engaging for learners. As an early adopter of new approaches like voice assistant education, 3D animation, podcasts, and mobile apps, DKBmed is constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional CME (continuing medical education) and providing tools to learners that help them integrate education into their practice.[7][8][9]

The company is operated by a team of medical education experts who work with accredited providers, including Johns Hopkins,[10] Tufts University School of Medicine, the University of Kentucky, Penn Medicine, and others, to develop innovative educational programs and bring new learning methodologies to the CME landscape.[11][12]

## Educational programs[edit]

To address the identified practice gaps, DKBmed has developed a range of unique programs, including Johns Hopkins eLiterature Review™, Johns Hopkins eSeminar Series™, and Epocrates MobileCME™. These programs cater to over 50,000 healthcare professionals, including primary care and specialties like cystic fibrosis, diabetes, infectious disease, dermatology, ophthalmology, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary disease, nephrology, multiple sclerosis, gout, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, depression, viral hepatitis, eating disorders, and pain management.[13]

DKBmed is also a pioneer in quality improvement in medical education and has developed systems-based interventions across the country to improve patient care in various fields like pain management, HIV, depression, influenza, and diabetic eye disease.[14] The company has received several grants from the FDA and REMS Program Committee to help mitigate the risk associated with managing pain with opioids and other medications.[15]

Healthcare professionals can access DKBmed's programs through its website.[16] The company's innovative approach to medical education has established it as a trusted source for effective, engaging, and impactful CME that contributes to improved patient care.[17]
