Medcompass, as the term implies, is formed as an intellectual alliance of making medicine more than just a blend of science and craft – the compass for uniting different aspects and approaches well across the diversified domains. The compass is our symbol and envisions not only the directions but also signifies the all in one unity which philosophers would call a universal theory. Representing our insignia, compass, therefore stands like a beacon of light not just to show the way but to be the way. Our endeavor is to optimize and actualize medicine into conceptually new domain hence reaching new levels and going well beyond contemporary paradigms and principles.
Our credo is: „Alchemizing medicine and comprehending beyond the horizon„.
Where the possibilities lie unrevealed is the very framework where our mission will come alive and transform them into reality. When the medical finite is comprehended as just one dimension reaching a longitudinal plateau medicine becomes crafting of science, but when and where the concepts are grasped as multidimensional structures which need to be perceived from different angles breaking the limits and moving the borders becomes apparent, therefore turning medicine into an art. Having stated that, Medcompass is the alliance of moving the borders and breaking the limits.
Attainment is not only to perceive the future but to be the future, rescaling and rethinking current trajectories in medicine and thus evolving new knowledge. Erudition shouldn’t be reserved just for advanced medical scientists but an attribute to practicing clinicians in reachable attempt to solve and answer medical dilemmas and controversies across the fields.
Medcompass is more than just a portal; it is designated to be at the forefront of quality change in medicine. We think that a movement of thinkers who wish to step-up the game is much needed, especially nowadays when we are witnessing medical minimalism going deeper rather than deeper and wider. Openness to new ideas is to acknowledge the differences and not to exclude incongruities and discrepancies but rather to unite them into one complete entity where conflicting views and opinions are equally important since they are all bridging to truth.
Our modus operandi is widening even further the scope of medical issues with live debates, sessions and discussions. Panels will be merged and emulated with clinic and real bedside settings to appropriately address emerging topics. Contemplating future of medicine, it is apparent that one size does not fit all and hence the manner from bench to bedside should be reframed to from bench to bedside, and from one bedside to another and back accordingly emphasizing the need to encompass all the modalities i.e. points of view in order to get closer to truth; but in the same time respecting that ultimate truth is but an illusion rendering our goal to be in the process of the journey itself rather than about the destination per se.
In addition, emerging topics are viewed just as steps in the path to exploring new concepts and theories. Consequently, novel topics will be yielded harmonizing prior controversies and revealing that any past inconsistencies were due to the lack of reasoning rather than the lack of knowledge. Disparities which we presently face in the medical arena must be overcome with the new way of thinking i.e. mindset shift which will acclaim its position via Medcompass alliance.
We humbly greet and welcome you at the gates of Medcompass. We assure you that any contribution will be highly appreciated and every opinion valued. After all, nature of medicine is dialectic – embracing differences into alchemy of the new.
Best regards, founders of Medcompass.
