US HealthConnect
US HealthConnect (USH) was formed through a series of acquisitions starting around 2017, when the firm appears to have assembled a portfolio of continuing medical education (CME) and healthcare media companies. The founding principal is Dik Barsamian, who serves as President & CEO; wealth origin for the capital that funded the roll-up is not publicly disclosed. The firm's strategy centers on acquiring and operating companies that produce accredited CME, digital medical education, and live medical conferences. Its subsidiaries include Global Learning Collaborative (which owns Prova Education, Omnia Education, Medtelligence, and AGILE), ReachMD (a healthcare professional media brand that won MM+M Gold in 2022), Bryn Mawr Communications (specializing in vision, cardiovascular, dermatology, and neurology education), and AXIS Medical Education (oncology education). USH also owns Avenue Live (engagement experience production) and Evolve Medical Education. The geographic footprint spans North America, South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia (per firm website, 2026). The firm's AUM is undisclosed; it does not disclose total deployment or professionals count. USH has completed at least two acquisitions in the last three years: in July 2022 it acquired Bryn Mawr Communications and Evolve Medical Education; in December 2021 it acquired AXIS Medical Education (per firm press releases, 2021 and 2022). Beyond its operating companies, USH does not report running a separate foundation or investment vehicle. The structural differentiator of USH is that it functions as a holding company for CME providers rather than a direct healthcare investor or typical family office. The firm acts as a consolidator in the fragmented market for accredited medical education — where revenue depends on pharmaceutical and device company sponsorships — giving USH a cross-sell opportunity across therapeutic areas and formats.
