About MDCalc
What is MDCalc?
MDCalc is the clinical decision-support reference that most doctors actually use: the definitive collection of medical calculators, scores and algorithms — from CHA₂DS₂-VASc to Wells' — each vetted and presented with the evidence behind it. Founded by two emergency physicians in 2005, MDCalc says its tools are used by "65% of physicians worldwide," making it one of the most widely used products in medicine. The company monetises through life-sciences partnerships while keeping the reference free for clinicians. It is a software and medical-media company — it builds the reference, it doesn't deliver care.
Where will I work?
MDCalc is headquartered in New York City and remote-friendly — of its current openings, one is NYC-based and one fully remote, and reviewers highlight that "the company embraces remote work with strong internal communication." The team is deliberately small relative to its reach — a product used millions of times a month runs on a headcount most startups would consider a single squad — which keeps individual ownership unusually high.
What is the MDCalc team like?
A small, senior team of engineers, medical editors, product and client-success people — physicians and technologists working unusually closely. Glassdoor reviewers rate MDCalc a flat 5.0 across 16 reviews. Hiring is deliberate: the board is small (two roles at the time of listing), so favourite the profile and watch for openings. Every calculator on the platform is written and reviewed by practising physicians with the underlying evidence cited inline — the editorial rigour is the product — and the company has stayed profitable and independent rather than chasing scale for its own sake.
