DxR Development Group, Inc. was founded in 1992 when the technology underlying interactive, medical education software was transferred from the SIU School of Medicine to the private sector. As a business, its goal has been to develop, publish, market, and sell healthcare education software programs that can be used to teach and assess various aspects of clinical problem solving and clinical practice behavior. The company's market remains primarily domestic, but it is currently working to expand the use of its products globally--an essential part of DxR Group's financial growth. International market potential has increased particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Many medical schools in these regions are beginning to adopt problem-based learning and other innovative educational methods, making our company's well-established software programs a potentially valuable, cost-effective addition to their curricula.
