FIGHTING THE FORGETTING CURVE Nick Dobrzelecki, MBA, BSN, RN, co-founder and CEO of The Learnery, on revolutionising healthcare learning through microlearning

n healthcare, our brains are bombarded with information almost constantly and it can be a challenge to keep up. There’s always something new to learn, processes to understand, and protocols to follow. Healthcare professionals across the industry are required to participate in regular continuing education, but traditional training methods can be few and far between with little reinforcement. The result? Most of what is learned is quickly forgotten. Given the fast-paced nature of healthcare, the ability to retain information effectively is critical, not just for patient safety but for career advancement.
Without effective knowledge retention and continuous training, healthcare systems face staffing shortages, increase turnover, reduced quality of care, and potential legal and financial risks. The Learnery, a subsidiary of Titan Health Corporation, is transforming how healthcare professionals learn. Developed by clinicians, The Learnery is a transformative, education platform that utilises science-backed microlearning methodology so that users better absorb and retain what is learned, thus ensuring both compliance and better patient outcomes.
As clinicians ourselves, we understand the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals in keeping pace with constant innovations. Breakthroughs in treatments, diagnostics, and medical technologies occur daily, improving patient care but also creating a rapidly shifting landscape that healthcare professionals must navigate. Continuing medical education (CME) programmes, while essential, often struggle to keep pace with these rapid changes. This knowledge gap can lead to inconsistent care and even medical errors, negatively impacting patient outcomes. The Learnery was born out of a passion to this gap. My co-founder, Dr. Antony Chu, MD MBA, and I created The Learnery to help healthcare professionals maximise their potential, ensuring they are always up to date with the latest practices and technologies. 57
