  At Tiber Health, our mission is to scale and increase access to quality healthcare education. Tiber’s flagship technology and analytics platform powers a one-year Master of Science in Medical Science (MSMS) curriculum by leveraging distance instruction, adaptive learning, and advanced analytics to guide student performance as well as predict performance in medical school and the Step 1 exam. The digital curriculum, which mirrors the first year of LCME-accredited medical school curriculum, makes it possible for partnered institutions to deliver their own campus-based (or remote) MSMS programs.
