We Are a Global Leader in Academic and Professional Education

UWorld has helped millions of undergraduates, graduates, and professionals successfully prepare for high-stakes accounting, finance, graduate school, high school, legal, medical, nursing, and pharmacy exams.

Our 750+ professionals — from accomplished doctors, practicing nurses, and experienced lawyers to in-classroom educators, visionary finance experts, and skilled scientists — take great pride in crafting exam-like test questions, detailed answer explanations, vivid illustrations, and precise videos that make really hard stuff easy to understand for students. We are committed to offering educators the most up-to-date exam prep resources that seamlessly integrate into existing curricula and actively engage students to help them know what to expect — and how to succeed — on test day.

We are passionate about creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued while providing value to the students, educators, and partners who trust us to provide the highest-quality educational content and study tools on the market.

Meet Dr. Chandra Pemmasani, Our Founder and CEO

What started as a passion project in my college dorm room has blossomed into a thriving company that students and professionals turn to when they require the best learning tools to prepare them for their pivotal exams.

While doing my medical residency in Pennsylvania in 2002, I began writing case-based learning questions for the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam because the study resources I found at the time were poor quality and too expensive. I initially tried to publish the 250 questions I’d written as a book, but after posting them in online forums, I received an overwhelming response and a demand for more. With the help of my brother, Ravi Pemmasani, and my wife, Sriratna Koneru, who were graduate students at Virginia Tech, USMLEWorld, which later became UWorld, was born in 2003.

Today, we are a rapidly growing company dedicated to providing high-quality exam prep that focuses on active learning. This proven teaching methodology, now being adopted by high schools, universities, and professional organizations, engages students throughout the entire learning process — whether they are in class or studying independently. We are proud to offer all of our learning tools at an affordable price.

I believe that innovation is critical to providing the best products for our students and driving business growth in the markets we serve. We will always be obsessed with our premier answer explanations that set us apart in the crowded EdTech space.

We Champion Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

We are driven by employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and all are passionate about creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Unlike traditional corporate DEI programs, our Diversity, Inclusion, and Awareness Committee is entirely grassroots — run by employees, for employees. The group champions anti-racism, diversity, inclusion, and awareness in our company and communities through education, philanthropy, and activism. From monthly newsletters and in-office events to ongoing hiring initiatives, we consistently encourage and showcase the diverse cultures, histories, and identities within our UWorld community.
