Futuremedian was founded in 2024 to reduce healthcare education disparities through quality academic support. Academic studies indicate a major gap in education. In medical education, Arianpoor et al. discovered in a meta-analysis of 32 studies that 35% to 45% of aspiring healthcare professionals facing household economic and educational disadvantage have lower odds of admissions into medical school programs than wealthier peers.

 

     Futuremedian is a youth-led global initiative that challenges these sociodemographic barriers in healthcare education through a multimodal learning structure, from study guides and questions to animated visuals with end-of-video reviews and captions, our interface isn’t restricted to a learner’s preferred style. Studies show that multimodal teaching (e.g. a teacher utilizing visual aids alongside verbal explanations) benefits learners because it reduces cognitive load. In a 2019 study by Husmann and O’Loughlin, they found that when a learner was given a strategy based on their preferred learning style, there wasn’t any correlation with grade improvements. 

​

     Here at Futuremedian, we optimize systems that maximize retention and comprehension while minimizing cognitive load. 

 

     Futuremedian targets aspiring healthcare professionals, a broad category that describes high school students, undergraduates, post-baccalaureate students, graduates, gap-year students, and career changers invested in a healthcare career.
