The NIH Executive Advisory Solution team can assemble a group of prominent, thought leading healthcare executives to assist you. We will discuss your specific needs and build an Advisory Group that you can access periodically via face to face meetings and/or teleconferences. We'll take care of recruitment, meeting management and even professional facilitation and reporting for your meetings, if you desire.
