MD-UniverseBy the doctors. For the doctors.
Listing standards

What gets listed, and what doesn’t.

Anyone can submit. Most submissions are not listed. These are the tests, published in advance so you know them before you spend time on a submission — and so members can hold us to them.

Free to submit. A flat fee only if it’s listed.
Submitting costs nothing, so a rejection costs you nothing either. If a submission is listed, the fee is flat, identical for everyone, and stated on the listing itself. There is no premium placement and no way to pay for prominence.
We publish what we turn away
Every quarter we publish how many submissions were reviewed and how many were listed. A standard nobody can check is a claim, not a standard.
Listed is not recommended
Clearing this bar means a submission was checked against the tests below. It is not advice, not an endorsement, and not a substitute for your own diligence or your own advisors.

Deal Room — six tests

01
Sponsor track record

How many full cycles — acquisition through sale — has the sponsor completed, and what were the realized returns, not the projected ones? Assets under management is not a track record.

02
Fee structure, in full

Acquisition fee, asset-management fee, disposition fee, and the promote or waterfall split. All of them, stated in the listing. Fees compound quietly and are the most common thing left vague.

03
Exit assumptions

What cap rate does the pro forma assume at sale, and is it more conservative than today’s? Returns that depend on cap-rate compression get treated with suspicion. Leverage and rate sensitivity stated.

04
Documents available

A private placement memorandum, financials, and any third-party reports available to interested members before they commit anything. No documents, no listing.

05
Conflicts disclosed

Sponsor conflicts, and ours. Every listing states the flat fee MD-Universe was paid and whether anyone connected to the platform holds an interest.

06
Exemption identified

Which securities exemption the offering relies on, because that determines who may be shown it. The sponsor is responsible for their own compliance and represents it in writing.

A submission must clear all six. Missing documents or an undisclosed conflict is a rejection, not a conversation.

Jobs & gigs — four tests

01
Real and current

A named facility or practice, confirmed dates, and a contact who answers. Speculative postings are removed.

02
Rate stated

The rate is in the listing. Not “competitive”, not “DOE”. If it cannot be published, it is not listed.

03
Requirements up front

Credentialing, licensure, and privileging expectations stated before a physician invests time in the conversation.

04
Who carries malpractice

Stated explicitly. This is the question that decides whether a coverage arrangement is workable, and it is the one most often left until too late.

Vendors — what “Preferred” means

Any vendor can be listed. A handful are marked Preferred, and that badge is worth exactly what these tests are worth — so they are published rather than implied.

01

Used by MD-Universe members, who told us it went well.

02

Rated at least 4 out of 5 by members here, across more than one review.

03

We have spoken to them directly and they know the offer is for verified physicians.

04

Whatever they pay us, if anything, is stated on the listing.

05

Placement is not for sale. No vendor has ever paid to be marked Preferred, and none can.

Every listing also states what MD-Universe is paid by that vendor — a flat listing fee, a referral fee, or nothing at all. Preferred is not an endorsement, not advice, and not a substitute for your own diligence. It means the tests above were met on the day we checked.

Have something that clears the bar?

Send it with the answers to the tests above. Submissions without them go to the back of the queue.
