Optimizing Medical Education Through Technology
We bridge the gap between PA education and technology, creating specialized solutions that address the unique challenges of Physician Assistant programs.
Founded by PA Educators for PA Educators
OptiMed was founded by a team of experienced PA educators and technology specialists who recognized the need for specialized technology solutions in PA education.
After years of struggling with generic educational technology that didn't address the unique requirements of PA programs, our founders set out to create custom solutions designed specifically for the PA education workflow.
Today, we partner with PA programs nationwide to implement technology that streamlines administrative processes, enhances student learning, and supports ARC-PA accreditation requirements.
