DW Healthcare Partners hired Cain Brothers and Houlihan Lokey to sell medical education company Med Learning Group, Axios Pro has learned.

Why it matters: A doctor shortage is driving more investment into companies that can help medical professionals maintain licensure.

Zoom in: The company is being marketed on between $40 million and $50 million of EBITDA, two sources say.

How it works: NYC-based Med Learning Group offers personalized continuing medical education for physicians and other providers.

The platform offers interactive live summits, online education courses and simulations across therapeutic areas like oncology and neurology.

Catch up quick: Sponsors made a rash of investments in the space in the 2020-2022 era, drawn to its strong margin profile and recurring revenue streams. 

LLR acquired TrueLearn in 2020; The Riverside Company bought Clinical Education Alliance in 2020; and Brentwood Associates acquired MedBridge alongside Ebridge Ventures in 2022. 

State of play: Deal activity has continued since, with THL Partners acquiring Red Nucleus — which offers continuing education alongside communications services — for $750 million in 2024. 

Meanwhile, Ares-backed Lockwood Group — expected to come to market later this year — acquired oncology-focused continuing medical education provider IDEOlogy Health in 2025. 

What we're watching: As in every other industry, generative AI is transforming medical education, with potential to supercharge efficiency and help doctors keep up with evolving medical guidance.

Yes, but: There's risk when it comes to content accuracy, potential bias and privacy.

Houlihan Lokey declined to comment. DW Healthcare Partners and Cain Brothers did not respond to a request for comment.
