The environmental cost of medical conferences is staggering

While global climate goals urge individuals to limit their CO2 emissions to 2.3 tonnes per year by 2030, attending just one medical conference, based on recent data, can emit an alarming 1.8 tonnes per person — nearly 80% of that annual limit. With 4,834 attendees at an undisclosed conference, generating a total of 8,646,000 kg of CO2, it would take almost 4000 trees a century to offset the damage from this single event.

As healthcare professionals committed to improving lives, we must ask ourselves: how can we justify practices that harm our planet? Embracing digital medical education isn't just an alternative; it's a necessary step toward sustainability.

"We figured medical doctors needed a better way to retrain...

Due to our young families and demanding practice as plastic surgeons, we couldn't be at medical talks, held on different continents. Attending simply wasn't feasible. On top of that, the environmental impact of flying had started to weigh heavily on us.

We knew other doctors were facing similar challenges. Change was needed.

We strongly believe retraining should be possible for anyone, on any continent, for an acceptable price, and colleagues who share their knowledge should be rewarded for it."

The idea for Keendoc was born.

A new, affordable, and convenient way to access accredited medical content online. A space to share knowledge, so all medical professionals can stay at the top of their game, without limitations.

Our vision is bold: to elevate the landscape for medical education around the globe — starting in Europe.
