About Stepful:

Stepful partners with healthcare institutions to build talent pipelines and career pathways. We are reimagining allied healthcare training with a digital-first environment for student cohorts that prepare job-ready graduates five times faster, at a fraction of the cost. Stepful graduates, primarily from underrepresented communities, go on to work at leading healthcare institutions. Stepful is backed by Y Combinator, Reach Capital and AlleyCorp and recently closed a round led by Oak HC/FT.

Live learning is an integral part of students’ learning experience at Stepful. Our synchronous modality is what differentiates us from other self-paced online programs. We believe in active learning, whereby our students interact with their instructors in live classes.
