MEDICAL BROADCASTING CHANNEL

As a result of the experience garnered over the last five years with the MMC Telemedicine Outreach Program, we know for a fact that the underserved hospitals in the global community are in desperate need of specialized medical education. By providing this education, we are increasing the level of expertise in each hospital and helping to alleviate the disparity of care between developed nations and the developing world.

The timing to introduce MBC could not be better. It comes at a point in time when many medical experts are predicting that the total volume of all medical knowledge available today will double within the next five years. Many of the protocols and procedures used to treat illnesses today will no longer be applicable. How can this wave of critical information be disseminated to the global medical community in a way that will allow for high retention rates? The Medical Broadcast Channel was designed to do exactly that, using three separate media: Satellite Broadcast, Internet2 and IPTV Networks.
