MD plus tech.
The community for physicians and med students building in tech, data, AI, and entrepreneurship, without figuring it out alone.
Free forever. We'll never spam you. 5,000+ members already in.
Members at top medical schools, residencies, and firms
Backed by Anthropic, a16z Bio+Health, OpenEvidence, Thalamus, Doximity, AMSA, and others.
The problem
Tech, data, AI, entrepreneurship in medicine is overwhelming.
There's no obvious place to start. The advice is scattered, the people are siloed, and the path looks intimidating from the outside. So most physicians and med students who are curious never start at all.
MDplus is that place to start. We're the easiest, most accessible, fun, and seamless way to get involved, alongside 5,000+ peers and mentors who've already done it.
What's inside
Three layers, one community.
Whether you're here to learn, connect, or build, there's a starting point for you.

A library of guides, courses, and expert mini-courses on the things you actually need to learn, from case prep to RAG to investor decks.
