Liderada pelo Dr. Guilherme Renke, a Plataforma Renke Academy+ é uma comunidade para médicos e profissionais da saúde. Ela é uma fonte de conteúdos científicos atualizados que através de aulas, artigos e discussão de casos clínicos, coloca cada médico em um patamar mais elevado e de destaque em suas carreiras. No seu ritmo: com o aplicativo da Renke Academy+ o membro pode assistir as aulas segmentadas por temas, de onde estiver e quando preferir e também participar de um grupo colaborativo no Whatsapp para troca entre os alunos e muito mais. Além do grupo no WhatsApp exclusivo, o médico membro pode tirar suas dúvidas nos comentários das aulas e obter descontos nos cursos presenciais e receber benefícios exclusivos de marcas parceiras. Outro grande diferencial são as discussões de casos clínicos: semanalmente escolhemos um caso de um dos pacientes dos alunos e discutimos ao vivo com todo o grupo as possíveis resoluções e prognósticos deste caso. Algo enriquecedor e que faz total diferença no processo de crescimento e amadurecimento profissional. Na Renke Academy o aluno literalmente conta com a ajuda dos monitores e do grupo de aluno no seu processo de crescimento profissional.
