Do you have a centralized online platform for your journal club?

ExtendMed’s Health Expert Connect™ platform is perfect for facilitating modern journal clubs, allowing members to share articles, congress posters, videos and podcast episodes online—and then engage in discussion with peers.

Gamify the experience with questionnaires and quizzes, all while having your medical team curate and moderate the content.

These digital journal clubs are especially beneficial during prelaunch phases or annual congresses, helping teams navigate vast amounts of information. They serve as a continuous learning platform for HCPs and internal teams, keeping everyone updated on the latest clinical trials, news and market competition.

And with everything hosted on Health Expert Connect™, you'll never lose track of vital articles or discussions. Our resource center repository ensures all content is easily accessible, anytime from any device.

Common journal club challenges:

  • In-person journal clubs can be cost-prohibitive
  • Experts live in different time zones, introducing logistical difficulties
  • Journal club participants are limited to those in the local area due to resource restrictions
  • Lack of journal planning processes and management tools to effectively engage participants
  • Ensuring medical teams are aware of current treatment options so they can provide participants with a breadth of educational resources 

Host frequent, cost-effective journal clubs that connect experts from around the globe, synchronously and asynchronously.

Budget no longer needs to limit medical teams from efficiently gathering insights from top clinical experts. Engage international and regional HCPs alike through moderated, real-time discussions, quizzes and questionnaires, and discussion boards that let busy professionals contribute on their own time—capturing key insights in the process—all within the Health Expert Connect Platform.

We don’t just build technology solutions—we have years of experience working with pharmaceutical industry partners to provide you with recommendations that lower costs and improve efficiencies across your live, hybrid and virtual programs. Partner with us when you’re ready to take your journal clubs and congresses to the next level.

It's a fantastic platform to learn. The best part about participating, being an academic rheumatologist, I always want to hear what my colleagues in community practice are doing. What are their challenges, and how do they circumvent them? It has informed my daily practice."

I enjoy reading and giving comments to the bright contributions from my peers. I'm not sure that there's any forum worldwide with this many practitioners that have a vested interest in the disease state. Everything that is put out there is worth a lot."

Being part of this community was great for me. I work in a very small practice, so talking to other nurses in my same shoes and learning how they handle different situations was awesome. I picked up great ideas that make such a change in patients' lives."
