Who we are

Anyone is welcome to participate and contribute (staff or trainee, clinical or non-clinical). Solutions come from all sources. Successful innovations require inputs from across disciplines and roles within an institution.

Having said that, we do have an advisory panel that will help guide the group with internal (to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center) and external expertise in clinical, business, and technical realms.
