KINGSTON, ON — Fenix Alma Solutions Inc., a leader in purpose-built educational technology for health sciences, is proud to announce a new partnership with the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who has selected VidaNovaVLE™ to replace their long-standing, enterprise-level homegrown platform.
After more than a decade relying on an internally developed solution, the University of Maryland School of Medicine made the strategic decision to transition to VidaNovaVLE™ — a platform that not only meets their current needs for curriculum delivery, assessment, and scheduling, but one they trust will continue to evolve alongside them. The selection reflects a clear vote of confidence in both the technology and the team behind it.
“We are honoured to partner with the University of Maryland School of Medicine as they enter this next chapter in their educational technology journey,” said Andrew Dos-Santos, Founder, President, and CEO of Fenix Alma Solutions Inc. “Their trust in us to deliver on what we say VidaNovaVLE™ can do — and to collaborate on shaping future development — speaks volumes about the strength of this partnership.”
Implementation is already underway, with the goal of launching for the incoming class this August. This aggressive timeline is made possible thanks to the extensive experience of the Fenix Alma team and the dedication of the champions driving the project at the University of Maryland.
“As we explored options for replacing our legacy system, VidaNovaVLE™ stood out as the most comprehensive platform available — seamlessly bringing together curriculum management, assessment, and clinical scheduling in one solution. Just as importantly, the Fenix Alma team impressed us with their responsiveness, collaborative spirit, and deep understanding of the needs of medical education. Several of our peer institutions spoke highly of their experiences, and that word-of-mouth confidence reinforced our decision to move forward with VidaNovaVLE™.”

This partnership underscores the growing trend among medical schools to replace fragmented or homegrown systems with scalable, fit-for-purpose solutions designed to empower faculty, streamline administration, and enhance the learner experience.
“We don’t take the trust of our partners lightly,” said Andrew Dos-Santos. “We are committed to building lasting, high-impact collaborations — and to helping schools like the University of Maryland succeed long-term with a platform that reflects their goals and values.”
