Standing access to the clinicians who choose the tools
A vetted, subscription-based partnership that places your company in front of Carrick Institute scholars — the neurology-focused clinicians who evaluate, recommend, and buy specialized clinical products — and gives you first position on every opportunity we open.
A partnership only works when all three sides win
We don't sell exposure for its own sake. Every Preferred Partner placement is built to hold up to the same question from three directions — which is exactly why our scholars trust what appears alongside their education.
Qualified access
Direct, standing exposure to a concentrated audience of licensed clinicians who purchase and recommend clinical products — and first choice on every promotional opportunity we release.
Aligned partners
A vetted roster of companies whose products genuinely serve our scholars, supporting the Institute without ever compromising the independence of our education.
Vetted resources
A curated directory of partners worth a clinician's attention — clearly identified as partners, never disguised as curriculum, and genuinely useful in practice.
Not a large audience. The right one.
Carrick Institute scholars are functional-neurology and integrative-health clinicians — the doctors who own practices, select clinical devices, and recommend products to patients every week.
These are the buyers most consumer channels can't reach and most banner networks can't identify: credentialed professionals whose single purchasing decision can be worth thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and whose recommendation carries downstream to every patient they see.
Value here isn't measured in raw impressions. It's measured in purchase authority, clinical influence, and lifetime value — the reasons a qualified clinician audience commands a premium.
The Carrick footprint
One listing. No ad spend. Real traffic and real sales.
The best argument for this program is what our Clinical Tools page is already doing — with a handful of items, months old, and no promotion behind it. This is the floor, not the ceiling.
What organic discovery is producing today
The top-performing tool on the page averages 118 visits per week, with 1.2 minutes of engagement time and a 37.1% click-through to the partner.
Because that partner uses a Carrick affiliate tracking link, we can see the result directly: roughly 2.1 units sold per month of a $5,000 clinical product — traffic and conversion generated by the listing alone, before any campaign, email, or event support.
A placement in our toolbar, discovered organically, is already a revenue channel. Promotion only compounds it.
From a listing to a flagship collaboration
One partner began exactly where you would — present to our scholars through Carrick. From there, the relationship grew into a co-developed clinical tool, a dedicated educational course, and a launch campaign built with our faculty.
Six-figure revenue generation, with hundreds of devices sold
A device our faculty helped adapt and teach reached scholars through a single coordinated campaign and produced six-figure partner revenue with hundreds of units sold — and the partner has returned for their next project. The Preferred Partner Program is the on-ramp to relationships like this: it puts you in the room, in front of the audience, and first in line when the next opportunity opens.
Your standing place in the Carrick ecosystem
A Preferred Partner subscription is your permanent foothold with our scholars — plus priority access to everything we open beyond it.
The opportunities you get first dibs on
Opportunities are released throughout the year. Preferred Partners are always notified first. If no partner claims an opportunity, we reserve the right to offer it outside the program.
Your own partner profile, built by Carrick
Every Preferred Partner receives a dedicated, professionally designed profile page — hosted on Carrick Institute and built to convert a browsing clinician into a lead. Here's a sample of what yours could look like.
Sample profile shown for illustration. "Meridian Neurodiagnostics" is a fictional company created to demonstrate the layout; your profile is built from your own brand, products, and content.

An introductory rate that rewards committing early
Subscribe for 6, 12, or 24 months. Longer terms carry a lower monthly rate — locked for the full period — and the 24-month term holds today's $99 rate for a full two years. Premiere Preferred is 2× the corresponding Preferred rate. These are introductory rates: renewal is priced against the promoted audience, so today's rate is the lowest it will be.
| Term | Preferred Partner | Premiere Preferred |
|---|---|---|
| 24 monthsBest value | $99per month · locked 2 years | $198per month · locked 2 years |
| 12 months | $99per month | $198per month |
| 6 months | $129per month | $258per month |
Fair market value is $125. Your first term: about $30.
Published rate cards from established medical publishers set the going rate for reaching healthcare professionals. Here's where the market sits — and where a Preferred Partner listing lands against it on an effective-CPM basis.
Fair market value for a curated HCP listing like this is about $125 CPM — squarely within the range published medical publishers charge.
Our Clinical Tools page already sees about 3,240 visits a month — organically, before any promotion. Because your introductory rate is locked against that pre-promotion traffic, a first-term Preferred Partner listing works out to an effective ~$30 CPM: roughly a quarter of fair market value.
That introductory rate holds for your entire first term, even as we promote the directory and traffic climbs. At renewal, your rate re-prices to the prevailing CPM on the larger, promoted audience — which is exactly why joining now, and locking today's rate, is worth doing before the audience grows.
Your introductory rate is locked against today's pre-promotion traffic. As we promote the directory, renewal re-prices to the prevailing rate — unless you join as a Charter partner and keep 25% off, every renewal.
Illustrative. Introductory ~$30 effective CPM reflects current ~3,240 monthly visits to the partner directory page, shared across listings, at the published 12-month introductory rate. Prevailing renewal CPM (~$150) is an estimate based on anticipated promoted traffic and is not guaranteed; fair market value today is approximately $125 CPM. Charter renewal shown at 25% below the prevailing rate.
A single sale covers the year — many times over
At the introductory 12-month rate, a full first year as a Preferred Partner runs $1,188. For a partner selling a $5,000 clinical product at typical margins, less than one sale covers the entire annual subscription.
Everything after that — and our live clinical-tools data already shows around 2 units a month moving through a single organic listing — is upside.
Illustrative break-even based on the introductory 12-month rate and a $5,000 product at a 50% contribution margin. Renewal is priced at the prevailing CPM. Actual results depend on your product, margin, follow-up, and activation, and are not guaranteed by Carrick Institute.
The Charter Round
Charter partners join before we promote the directory — which means they lock in today's traffic-based rate before the audience grows. These founding terms are offered once.
Vetted, not sold to everyone
Preferred Partners are evaluated, not simply enrolled. That standard is what keeps the directory worth a clinician's trust — and worth your investment.

Where we draw the line
A Preferred Partnership is a paid, clearly-labeled sponsorship and directory placement. It is never presented as course curriculum, and it is never described as a Carrick Institute clinical endorsement. Partner placements are visually and structurally distinct from our education, disclosed to scholars, and held to honest claims. That discipline is the reason our scholars trust what appears beside their learning — and it is precisely what makes your placement valuable.
Every partnership comes with a measurement plan
You'll know what's working. We agree on the metrics before anything goes live, and report against them on a set cadence.
Scholar data is collected on a permission basis and handled in line with applicable privacy requirements and consent. Carrick Institute does not provide partners with personally identifiable scholar data outside of opt-in lead capture.
List your tools in the Clinical Tools directory
The Clinical Tools page is where scholars go when they're deciding what to bring into practice — the same placement already producing organic traffic and sales for current partners, with no ad spend behind it.
As an active Preferred Partner, you can add your products to that directory as a paid listing — each tool with its own catalog entry, imagery, description, and a path straight to your profile and lead form.
- ✓ Available exclusively to active Preferred Partners
- ✓ Each listing is a full catalog entry in the directory scholars browse
- ✓ Priced per tool, so you list exactly what you want in front of clinicians
- ✓ Lock your rate for 6, 12, or 24 months to prevent any price escalation
