Built by clinicians, for clinicians.

Continuum Health AI exists because mentorship in healthcare is broken — not for a lack of people willing to mentor, but because the people who need it can't find the people who have what they need, at the moment they need it.

The story

I'm Baker Mills, an orthopedic surgeon who completed residency at Duke University and an officer in the U.S. Navy. I'm writing this as someone who remembers every step of the training pipeline in vivid detail — and that's the point. Continuum Health AI exists because the most useful mentorship I've ever gotten didn't come from the people the system told me it would.

Somewhere around my third year of medical school I started noticing a pattern. The advice that actually moved me forward — how to approach a rotation, how to read a program, how to write a research statement that a PD would actually finish — came from residents one or two years ahead of me, or from attendings who remembered exactly what it felt like to be where I was. The advice that didn't land came from people with impressive titles who hadn't applied to anything in a decade. It wasn't that the senior people weren't smart. It was that the gap had gotten too big. Process moves fast. Memory fades. The mentor you need is the one who just walked the path, not the one who blazed it twenty years ago.

I watched talented classmates and co-residents stall out for reasons that had nothing to do with their talent. They couldn't find the right person at the right time. The system assumed mentorship would happen organically — that you'd bump into the PGY-2 who'd just matched, or the fellow with an open research slot, or the attending who moonlights at the exact community hospital you're considering. Sometimes you do. Most of the time you don't. Continuum is the infrastructure to make that connection reliable instead of accidental — built for clinicians, protected for clinicians, and run by someone still in the fight.

The team

Baker Mills, MD, MS

Founder · Orthopedic Surgeon · U.S. Navy Officer

Baker is an orthopedic surgeon who completed residency at Duke University and serves as an officer in the U.S. Navy. His clinical interests sit at the intersection of musculoskeletal care, surgical decision-making, and the systems that determine whether a trainee gets the guidance they need to thrive. He started Continuum Health AI after seeing — again and again — that the right mentor at the right moment was the variable that changed everything, and that healthcare had no reliable way to make that match happen.
