The knowledge to treat cancer should not be a luxury good.

The Problem

Medical Education Is Broken

Publishing houses profit from both sides. Content creators get nothing. Learners can't afford access.

"You're not paying the people creating the content and you're charging an arm and a leg to those who are trying to access the content. Doesn't seem right. There's gotta be a better way."

— From the LibreOncology founding conversation


How It Works

Expert Knowledge, Beautifully Delivered

From a doctor's voice to a learner's preferred format, powered by AI and curated by the community.

1

Experts Speak

Specialists talk through concepts naturally, the way they'd teach in clinic one-on-one. No scripts needed.

2

AI Hydrates

Raw teaching is transformed into polished, structured educational content while preserving the expert's practical voice.

3

Community Reviews

Wikipedia-style peer review. Other specialists refine, correct, and contribute sidebars for tricky concepts.

4

Multi-Format Delivery

One source becomes video, text, cheat sheets, Anki cards, and AI-powered Q&A - whatever the learner needs.

Intelligent Learning

An AI Tutor That Knows You

Not a chatbot. A learning companion that adapts to your knowledge, fills your gaps, and never wastes your time.

"I don't quite understand that paragraph"

The AI generates a 3-5 page sidebar just-in-time, covering the prerequisite knowledge you missed. Read it, get it, move on.

"I haven't seen a nasopharynx case in years"

The system knows your history. It skips what you know and gets you current on exactly what's changed since you last reviewed.

"Is this similar to how staging works in lung cancer?"

Build world models by analogy. The AI helps you stitch together intuitions across topics, the way an experienced mentor would.

Radical Transparency

We Show You Every Dollar

Inspired by open-source software and the belief that trust is built through visibility, not promises.

Live Financial Dashboard

Infrastructure costs. Subscription revenue. Content creator payouts. Everything public, everything auditable.

Coming soon — we're building this now.

~$7 per subcourse

The price of a latte. Not the price of a textbook. Residents asked for $50 or less. We're going way under.

Creators earn dividends

Every contribution is tracked. Every contributor is compensated. Even $100-300/year is better than the current $0.

Benefit corporation

Our social mission is legally binding. No future pivot to extraction. Education first, always.


For Everyone

Not Just Residents

Great teaching serves the entire profession.

Residents in Training

Board prep, daily learning, oral exam practice. Whether you're at MD Anderson or a community program.

Practicing Physicians

Quick refreshers when a rare cancer walks in. Continuing education that doesn't bore you with what you already know.

International Learners

India, Zambia, Canada, Mexico, and beyond. World-class training shouldn't require a US zip code.

Content Contributors

Great teachers whose voice deserves to be heard. Get recognized, get compensated, reach learners worldwide.

Join the Movement

The people who create the knowledge get paid nothing. The people who need the knowledge can't afford it.
We're changing that.
