ROCKET DOCTOR AND UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LAUNCH DIGITAL HEALTH OBSERVERSHIP PROGRAM FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT STUDENTS

Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., has entered into a partnership with the University of Toronto to support clinical education for students enrolled in its physician assistant program. Through this collaboration, first-year PA students from the University of Toronto's program will complete part of their required first-year observerships by participating in Rocket Doctor clinics. The first clinic launched on April 14, 2026.

Students will be integrated into existing clinics on the Rocket Doctor platform, where they will observe practising clinicians delivering care in a virtual and hybrid environment. The initial focus will be on observing physician assistants, with opportunities to observe physicians depending on clinic flow and availability as the program develops. Rather than being paired with a single provider, students will be scheduled flexibly across clinics, allowing them to gain exposure to a diverse range of providers, workflows and patient scenarios. This model is designed to provide broad clinical insight while reflecting the dynamic nature of digital health care delivery.

"Expanding access to high-quality clinical training is critical to building a resilient health care work force," said Dr. William Cherniak, founder and chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor Inc. "By partnering with the University of Toronto's physician assistant program, we're creating new pathways for learners to gain meaningful exposure to real-world care delivery in a modern, technology-enabled environment."

This initiative builds on Rocket Doctor's broader strategy to expand clinical education opportunities by integrating learners directly into its distributed digital health platform. By connecting students with practising clinicians in real-world care environments, the company is helping to strengthen health care work force development while equipping future providers with the skills needed to deliver care in increasingly virtual and hybrid settings.

The University of Toronto's physician assistant program, offered through the Temerty faculty of medicine and to be physically based in the Myron and Berna Health Science Complex at the University of Toronto Scarborough starting this fall, prepares graduates to practise medicine in collaboration with physicians across a range of clinical settings. By incorporating digital health observerships into early training, the program is helping students build familiarity with emerging care models that are increasingly shaping the future of health care delivery.

"At the University of Toronto, digital health is an important part of how we experience learning, and Rocket Doctor has allowed me to connect classroom concepts with real clinical practice. Gaining this kind of early exposure has strengthened my understanding of how patient care is evolving and continues to shape my development as a future health care provider," said Lauren Chabot, a first-year physician assistant student in the program. The initiative represents a broader commitment for Rocket Doctor, in supporting the next generation of health care providers by embedding clinical education directly within its care delivery platform. By integrating learners into real-world digital and hybrid care environments, the company aims to help build a more adaptable, technologically fluent work force while continuing to expand access to high-quality care across the communities it serves.

About Rocket Doctor AI Inc.

Rocket Doctor AI delivers physician-built, artificial-intelligence-powered solutions designed to make high-quality health care accessible throughout the entire patient journey. A cornerstone of the company's proprietary technology is the Global Library of Medicine, a clinically validated decision support system developed with input from hundreds of physicians worldwide.

Alongside the GLM are Rocket Doctor Inc. and its AI-powered digital health platform and marketplace. Having helped empower over 350 medical doctors to provide care to more than 750,000 patient visits, its proprietary technology software and systems enable doctors to independently launch and manage their own virtual or hybrid in-person practices -- improving efficiency, restoring autonomy to MDs and expanding patient access to care.

By reducing administrative burdens and ensuring greater consistency in care, its technology creates more time for meaningful physician-patient interactions. The company is committed to reaching underserved, rural and remote communities in Canada which often lack access to family doctors, and supporting patients on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States. With advanced AI, large language models and connected medical devices, Rocket Doctor AI is redefining modern health care -- making it more scalable, equitable and patient centred.
