OUR PURPOSE
To actively advocate for medical doctors and the relational nature of healthcare
CUSTOMER FOCUS
Healthcare providers at academic medical centers with a strategic priority placed on medical doctors, including fellows
To drive impact we:
Examine the academic center landscape and create partnerships and opportunities to collaborate on resources, education events and tools that are mutually beneficial for providers and patients.
Engage with fellows through tailored events, congresses and advisory boards to better understand the priorities that are essential for sustaining the future of the healthcare system.
Identify and analyze current and future trends affecting the healthcare ecosystem, with HCP burnout emerging as a key area of concern based on insights from advisory boards, research, peer conversations, and collaboration with The Economist Impact Group.
