Academic Medicine and Research Strategy

We help medical schools, health sciences colleges and academic health centers integrate their academic, clinical and research missions, from research enterprise strategy and accreditation to faculty recruitment priorities and research commercialization.

What we do

  • Medical school and health sciences strategy
  • AHC integration
  • Research enterprise strategy
  • Translational science and innovation
  • Faculty strategy and recruitment priorities
  • Curriculum and educational model integration
  • Accreditation strategy and alignment
  • Academic-clinical-research mission integration
  • Research commercialization

Questions we help answer

  • How do we align the academic, clinical and research missions when their economics pull in different directions?
  • How should a new or expanding school, whether medical, dental, nursing or pharmacy, be planned, funded and accredited?
  • Where should we focus research investment to build distinctive strength?
  • Which faculty recruitments best advance both research and clinical priorities?
  • What does accreditation require of our curriculum, faculty and clinical partners, and are we ready?

Let's discuss the decision in front of you.

Some strategic questions are too important to answer alone.
