Mission
TEDMED bridges the gap between science and the public by finding and sharing stories that inform, inspire, engage, and provoke action across a broad, passionate community inside and outside of health and medicine.
Vision
TEDMED imagines a future where scientists, policymakers, and the public openly engage and communicate with one another, creating a healthier and safer world.
Principles
Science
TEDMED is driven by the scientific process and data, not by politics, popular opinion, or fear.
Fact-Driven
It is our duty to present the facts, and ensure access to the scientific truths that push everyone to imagine a healthier humanity.
Multi-Disciplinary
Help unleash creativity by encouraging all of us to break out of our silos and learn from the world around us.
Community
To answer the toughest questions in health and medicine, it is going to take all of us working together and pooling our knowledge in conducive environments.
