What doctors say about Roon
Sometimes it can feel like we are an information island because we are the only academic medical center in the state. Resources like this can be very valuable for our physicians who are trying to push the edges.
CP
Attending Physician at UAMS Medical Center
[Roon] really can fill in the gap of questions that don’t have a clear answer. The things that you would never see on your boards.
AA
Attending Physician at UCSF Medical Center
I love going on Roon because I always feel like I learned something, and I feel like I can trust it.
SM
Pediatric Radiology, Children’s Hospital Colorado
On X, it’s very dopamine-centric. Here it’s much more serotonin. There is a Zen to Roon.
DM
Radiation Oncology, UCLA
Physicians are so desperate to connect. This gets me very excited.
JL
OB Hospitalist, Portland
Roon [has become] healthcare’s digital watercooler: a space for expert curation and genuine collegial exchange. With any luck, Roon will help restore some of the joy that drew us to medicine in the first place.
RW
Chair of Medicine, UCSF
The conversations physicians need to have are different. They benefit from a community designed specifically for clinicians—where discussions can go deeper, the signal-to-noise ratio is higher, and colleagues can learn from one another’s experience.

CEO, SCAN Group
