About Us
Empowering healthcare professionals through continuing education.
We are committed to providing high-quality courses for therapy and healthcare professionals.
Our mission: To make specialized knowledge accessible, practical, and directly applicable in everyday clinical practice.
Through expert-led continuing education and flexible digital learning, we help healthcare professionals stay up to date, expand their skills, and improve their patients' treatment outcomes.
How It All Began
foxstudy was founded by Jan Lieber, Petra Marsico, and Rob Labruyère. The pandemic has made it clear: continuing education in therapy and medicine must become more accessible, and knowledge must reach the people who need it more quickly. Our mission: to break down barriers and simplify access to knowledge.
Two Types of Expertise
We are developing our first course with the support of digital learning specialists. In addition to our clinical knowledge (the “what”), we are mastering digital teaching methods (the “how”) to convey knowledge in a truly engaging way.
Launch Online
We're launching our first website, an e-learning platform, and our course store, and we're selling our very first courses.
Our first institutional partner
We are entering into a partnership with the University Children's Hospital Zurich, our first institutional partner, and our courses are being used in team and group settings for the first time.
Enrollment in College Programs
We are launching a partnership with the University of Continuing Education Krems, marking the start of our courses as part of accredited university programs.
"Self-Strong" Kicks Off
We’re starting with the development of selbst-stark, a learning platform designed specifically for people with cerebral palsy, so that knowledge reaches the people it’s intended for even faster.
