In his role at Thalamus, Dr. Reminick leads an amazing team whose mission is to ensure that the right doctor trains at the right hospital to treat the right patients (and vice versa).

The software is used by over 300+ academic institutions and health systems (including 98 of the top 100 hospitals by size), 2500+ residency/fellowship programs and 90% of all new US physicians annually (and 40% of practicing US physicians to-date).
