Wysdom represents a bold and necessary shift in how we approach medical education. It distills the experience of seasoned clinicians into short, high-impact teaching moments that are immediately relevant to patient care. Wysdom bridges the gap between traditional academic resources and the real-world decision-making that defines modern clinical practice. As a scientist, educator and practitioner, I see tremendous value in this platform for training the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Wysdom offers something the industry has needed for a long time - authentic, case-based insight into how clinicians actually think and use our technologies. As a former practicing physician, I know how critical context is to clinical decision-making. As a CMO, I see how valuable that same context is for shaping product development, education, and messaging. Wysdom bridges the gap between innovation and real-world use - helping our teams better understand, support, and collaborate with the physicians we serve.
Wysdom is exactly what our field needs - a platform where curated practical insight, clinical nuance, and real-world experience are shared in a format that actually fits into our lives. The ability to access short, high-yield videos created by peers is transformative for how we teach and learn. I've spent my career focused on procedural education, and Wysdom brings that to a new level - grounded in clinical reality, but elevated by design and technology. It’s a natural evolution in medical education. I’m excited to see how it grows.
Dr. Hofmann has been one of the most influential mentors in my career, both clinically and professionally. What he’s building with Wysdom captures the same spirit he brought to our training at Stanford - high standards, practical clinical insight, and a deep respect for the art of medicine. Wysdom fills a critical gap in medical education by making it easier to access the kind of wisdom that’s usually passed down at the bedside. It’s the kind of platform that will shape how the next generation of physicians learns - and leads.
Pearls
Essential for Every Specialty
Wysdom begins with a focus on image-guided procedures - delivering concise, high-impact videos that cover the skills every clinician should know. Whether you're a specialist or generalists looking to gain procedural confidence, these Pearls are built to support you. Each video is under 4 minutes and designed to teach the when, why, and how of the most commonly performed bedside and interventional procedures.
This module covers:
- Proper indications and contraindications
- Step-by-step techniques
- Real cases and imaging examples
- Complications and post-procedure care
These core procedures are relevant across disciplines and include techniques such as paracentesis, thoracentesis, and simple bedside drainages - as well as complex interventions performed in the angio suite. Whether simple or advanced, each Pearl is designed to help you build clinical confidence, one case at a time.
While we’re starting with image-guided procedures, our mission is to expand across all of medicine - and into all languages - to make high-quality, practical clinical education accessible to every healthcare professional, everywhere.
