What is DOCHORT
An invite-only community of doctors — not a referral club
DOCHORT is short for Doctors' Cohort. Verified surgeons and physicians, no more than fifty to a cohort and no more than three from any one speciality, meeting twice a month for a 90-minute afternoon assembly — with multiple cohorts running in the same city.
Peer Support
A safe, non-competitive space for challenges, ethical dilemmas and honest conversation.
Cross Speciality Learning
Perspective from forty specialities sharpens how you practise your own.
One Minute on Your Feet
Every meeting gives each practising doctor a timed minute to present themselves and their work.
Service to Society
Community health initiatives, pro bono care and public awareness, driven by the cohort.
Verified & Trusted
Every member is credential-verified, so a recommendation carries the weight of a reputation.
Our philosophy
Serving society. Sharing knowledge. Helping each other.
“We believe that when doctors share knowledge, support each other, and work together, the entire medical community — and society at large — benefits.”
Serving Society
Medicine is a public trust before it is a profession.
- Public Health AdvocacyUsing the platform to address societal health challenges — awareness campaigns and policy discussions.
- Accessible ExpertiseMaking medical knowledge accessible to underserved communities and doctors in remote areas.
- Social ResponsibilityCommunity health initiatives, pro bono consultations and medical education for the public.
Knowledge Sharing
Everything one of us learns should be available to all of us.
- Lifelong LearningContinuous medical education and staying current with the latest research and treatments.
- Open DialogueAsk questions, share rare case studies and discuss treatment approaches without fear of judgment.
- Democratizing KnowledgeBreaking silos between specialties, hospitals and regions so knowledge moves freely and fairly.
Helping Each Other
The strongest clinicians are the ones who are not alone.
- Peer SupportA safe space for challenges, ethical dilemmas and personal struggles — burnout, malpractice fears and more.
- Collaborative Problem-SolvingCrowdsourcing solutions for complex or rare cases with colleagues who have seen them.
- Reciprocal GrowthSeniors mentor juniors, juniors bring fresh perspective — a non-judgmental, non-competitive circle.

How one cohort works
Six principles, repeating twice a month
The structure is deliberately simple — and relentlessly consistent. Consistency is what turns colleagues into a community.
- 01
Verified Doctors Only
Credentials and practice are verified before any seat is offered. Invite only, always.
- 02
Twice a Month
Two 90-minute afternoon assemblies each month. Same cohort, deepening every time.
- 03
One Minute Each
Every practising member gets a timed one-minute slot to present themselves and their work.
- 04
Knowledge Sharing
Case discussions, CME-style sessions and open dialogue between surgeons and physicians.
- 05
Peer Support
A non-judgmental circle for complex cases, ethical dilemmas and honest conversation.
- 06
Lifetime Relationships
Mentorship, collaborations and friendships that continue far beyond the room.
The afternoon assembly
90 minutes, engineered for value
Two afternoon meetings every month. Tap any block to see exactly what happens in the room.
Cohort size & reach
Multiple cohorts. One city at a time.
Bringing verified surgeons and physicians together to learn, share and grow — in rooms deliberately kept small.
Maximum 50 doctors
A cohort never grows beyond 50 verified surgeons and physicians — small enough that everyone is known.
Multiple cohorts per city
As a cohort fills, the next one opens in the same city, so quality of conversation is never diluted.
Three seats per speciality
At most three doctors of the same speciality in a cohort — balanced, collegial, never crowded.
One connected network
Cross-cohort introductions open collaborations far beyond your own room.
