Frontline Medical Communications (FMC) has announced the acquisition of Hemedicus, Inc, an accredited CME company; Jonathan Wood & Associates (JWA), a medical education company specialising in hematology, oncology, and cancer immunology; and Hematology Times™ (HT), an online news publication for hematologists.
Earlier this year, Frontline Oncology, a group of FMC dedicated to Closing the Loop on the Cancer Care Conversation™, successfully partnered with HT in relaunching the web resource to fully address the expanding professional needs of physicians in hematology and oncology. Frontline also opened HT up to advertising, which it previously had not accepted.
Jonathan Wood, the principal of the acquired companies, will now oversee all hematology/oncology businesses of FMC, as President. The new division, FMC Hematology & Oncology, will include Frontline Oncology, led by Frank Iorio, Managing Director, which specialises in digital and print publications. Hemedicus, Inc. will continue as the ACCME accredited provider for all certified medical education.
Jon began his hematology and oncology career as the founding editor of Oncology Times in 1980. He formed Triclinica Communications in 1986 for William Douglas McAdams to specialise in hematology and oncology medical education. In 1990, Jon formed his first company, JWA, and then in 2007, he established Hemedicus to handle all the CME programming the company was involved in; Jon launched Hematology Times™ later that year. Collectively, Jon and his staff are bringing nearly 100 years of hematology/oncology experience to FMC.
