Our Vision and Mission

Our goal is to reduce the risks associated with physician shortages and the resultant disparities in patient outcomes, education and quality leadership in health care systems.

Partnering with health care organizations of all sizes, we create high-level quality improvement programs that mitigate the impact of physician shortages and treatment shortfalls. We do this by leveraging the extensive faculty and resources of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. With the expertise of our faculty we provide customized solutions for provisional clinical services, telehealth, interim leadership personnel, continuing medical education, as well as, clinical and financial consultation.
