Our clients include more than 250 AMCs, teaching hospitals and affiliated faculty group practice (FGP) organizations, and nearly 90% of the nation’s medical schools.
ECG works with all types of academic health systems (AHSs), from fully integrated, single-CEO models to community-based medical schools that manage multiple clinical affiliations to independent academic medical centers (AMCs) and everything in between.
We work daily with university and health system boards and presidents, health system executive teams, academic leaders (provosts, deans, and department chairs), and hybrid physician enterprises that include academic and nonacademic physicians.
Our team includes consultants who specialize in each AMC mission area—education (UME, GME, and CME), research, and clinical care—and are nationally recognized for their strategic, financial, operational, regulatory, and accreditation-related expertise.
Grounded in 50 years of academic healthcare experience, we have a proven track record of connecting the dots across mission areas, rapidly establishing credibility, and building consensus with stakeholders.
AMCs, AHSs, teaching hospitals, children’s hospitals, universities and schools of medicine, research institutes, and FGP organizations benefit from our unmatched knowledge of academic healthcare.
