The acquisition combines the core competencies of JIM.fr with that of Medscape, WebMD’s flagship global brand for healthcare professionals (HCPs). Medscape and its affiliate network of platforms currently reach over 5 million physicians worldwide with clinical news, health information and continuing medical education. With the addition of JIM.fr, Medscape deepens its commitment to French and French-speaking HCPs.

“Both JIM.fr and Medscape have the trust and engagement of hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals in France,” said Jeremy Schneider, Group General Manager, WebMD Global. “Medscape’s existing French edition, along with our robust, country-specific content, is integral to our global commitment to French-speaking health professionals.

As a leading medical news site in France, JIM.fr engages hundreds of thousands of physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other HCPs across more than 25 specialties. In addition to updates on the latest medical news, clinical science, and medical conference coverage, JIM.fr offers a multidisciplinary and interactive continuing education platform for the broad healthcare team.

We are very happy to see the quality of our work recognized by Medscape, the global medical news and point of care platform.”

Following closing, JIM.fr will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary of Medscape as the companies look to build on and integrate products, platforms, and services.

Dr. Gilles Haroche, then an intern at “Hôpitaux de Paris” (Hospital chain, Paris), founded the “Journal International de Médecine” (The JIM) in 1979, which switched to an entirely digital format in 1999. The JIM has always fulfilled the mission expressed in its title International Journal of Medicine.

Thanks to the daily editorial collaboration of dozens of hospital and private practitioners, JIM has set itself the goal of informing its readers in French, in “real time”, of everything important that is being done and written in medicine around the world in the international scientific press, major congresses and professional news. Its rigor and its free and sometimes offbeat tone have made it a success with its readers, and therefore with its advertisers. JIM has always been ranked among the leading digital media sites for HCPs in France.
