Goal-oriented Projects
Second Opinions is a project-based organization. We work with community health centers and other clients to identify specific projects with clear objectives that will move them toward their larger goals.
Student-led Teams and Expert Advisors
We assemble teams of medical students to work on projects. Each team includes an experienced Case Team Leader and is supported by our advisory network of faculty members and other experts from Northwestern Medicine.
Due Diligence and Collaboration
Projects usually last 8-12 weeks. During this time, the team will execute analyses, carry out research, and collaborate frequently with the client. Each project ends with a final presentation and materials hand-off.
Longitudinal Follow-up
Our relationship doesn't end with the project. We continually follow-up in order to facilitate knowledge transfer and implementation of our analysis.
