What's inside
Five threads. One short read.
Every issue covers a rotating mix from these five threads. Some weeks lean heavier on one, depending on what's actually happening.
AI in clinical practice
The tools actually being used inside hospitals, not just the press releases. Vetted by clinicians.
Career moves
Notable people leaving clinical roles for industry, and the smaller, quieter moves that signal where the field is going.
Funding + deals
Healthtech rounds, IPOs, and quiet acquisitions, with one-line takes on what they mean for clinicians.
From the community
Highlights from the MDplus Slack: best threads, member wins, and questions the community is wrestling with.

5-minute read

Why this one
Not industry analysts. Physicians.
Most healthtech writing is done by people who've never rounded. Most clinical writing ignores what's changing around medicine. We sit in the middle.
The newsletter is curated by working physicians and senior med students inside the MDplus community. People who can tell whether a tool actually helps at the bedside, whether a deal signals a real shift, and whether a career move is worth paying attention to.
Want the real-time version? The Slack community is where these conversations happen all week. The newsletter is the curated weekly summary.
Five minutes a week. Worth it.
Subscribe and we'll send Issue 01 the day it launches.
