ACC and Wondr Medical Collaborate on New Digital Educational Channel

June 29, 2021—The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and Wondr Medical announced that they are collaborating to create a new digital channel on the Wondr Medical platform that will amplify the global reach of ACC’s educational content. The partnership also provides access to ACC’s content to the existing clinical users of Wondr Medical.

According to the announcement, the Wondr Medical platform provides access to cases, information, and individuals, with the tools to collaborate and share with colleagues wherever they are in the world. Justin Davies, MD, an interventional cardiologist, founded Wondr Medical in 2019 as a digital medical collective in response to the disparity of access to knowledge and opportunities that physicians experience from country to country and hospital to hospital.

Now available, ACC’s digital channel on Wondr features free, on-demand courses for cardiovascular professionals and primary care clinicians to explore a wide variety of expert analyses of practice-changing research, clinical guidelines, and topics relevant to everyday practice while also earning continuing medical education credit. The channel can be accessed online here.

According to ACC and Wondr Medical, the digital channel pairs ACC’s expertise and knowledge in creating high-quality cardiovascular care education with Wondr’s mission to democratize health care content globally through connection and social networking. ACC educational resources, such as NCD Academy, will now be available as part of Wondr’s content for medical professionals around the world, free to air and streaming on any device.

In the coming months, the ACC and Wondr partnership will focus on creating and accelerating educational access and content for underserved audiences, such as women in cardiology.

Neal Kovach, MBA, Vice President, Global Innovation and Clinical Transformation for ACC, commented in the press release, “As part of the ACC’s vision of a world where innovation and knowledge optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes, our partnership with Wondr is an exciting opportunity to increase access to ACC’s phenomenal educational content outside of those who have traditionally accessed it. By increasing the ACC’s global reach, we can have a more active role in providing education and support for health care communities around the world caring for underserved populations and helping to reduce the global cardiovascular disease burden. Together with Wondr, we hope to create an interactive educational community where we can share our knowledge and better serve each other and our patients.”

Dr. Davies added, “We started Wondr with a vision to deliver the finest medical education to medical professionals wherever they were. This partnership with ACC is the clearest possible example of that vision becoming a reality. Now our users in 175 different countries can access the ACC’s resources, starting with on-demand clinical education, on the platform. This bold partnership brings new voices into the ACC family and will accelerate improvements in the delivery of cardiovascular care across the world.”
