What motivated the creation of 'Read by QxMD'?

Healthcare professionals must keep abreast of the newest medical findings and topic reviews to ensure they provide the best care. Unfortunately, the current method of discovering this content is flawed, with research often separated by publishers and obscured behind numerous institutional paywalls.

At QxMD, we believe that bridging the gap between new knowledge and clinical practice—an essential yet unresolved challenge within our healthcare system—is crucial. Our goal is for 'Read by QxMD' to contribute positively to this issue.

Effortless 1-tap access available at hundreds of universities.

The initiative was founded by medical professionals committed to developing high-quality point-of-care tools for healthcare practitioners.
