Cloudphysician Academy

Following the evidence-based trail

Cloudphysician Academy was born out of the realization that patient centric outcomes and healthcare delivery are directly linked with pragmatic training and the continuous creation of peer reviewed evidence. Additionally, we also want to disseminate relevant knowledge to those that may be working in the adjacent domains of healthtech, finance, management and other fields that exert influence on healthcare. In tandem with the training we provide, our dedicated research and innovation wing is focussed on bringing improvements to patient safety, care quality and operational efficiency.
