Our Core Values

Evidence-Based Practice

We maintain rigorous standards for source selection. If it isn't high-quality, peer-reviewed, or widely accepted FOAM content, it doesn't make it into our index.

Global Accessibility

We believe high-quality medical knowledge should be accessible to all healthcare professionals, regardless of their institution's subscription budget.

Continuous Innovation

Medicine evolves daily, and so do we. Our algorithms are constantly improved to surface the most current guidelines and research.

Community Driven

We exist to support the FOAM community. We drive traffic back to original creators and foster collaboration across specialties.

Built by Clinicians

We are a team of healthcare professionals, software engineers, and medical educators who understand the cognitive load of modern clinical practice. We built FOAM Cortex because we needed it ourselves.
