About Kimberly Valenta, MD

Clarity. Credibility. Clinical insight that drives better decisions.

I’m a physician, medical writer, and clinical advisor with over two decades of experience in health care and medical communication. I partner with health tech companies, education providers, and mission-driven organizations to create content and tools that are medically sound, practically useful, and designed for how people really work and learn.

Whether I’m developing accredited CE content, reviewing AI-generated materials, or helping shape the structure of a digital health product, I bring a deep respect for evidence, a commitment to clear communication, and a collaborative mindset.
