"There’s something refreshing about AcademyHealth’s commitment to academic rigor but also to moving evidence into action at the broader level – from public policy to health care delivery. You don’t feel like you’re sitting in this ivory tower, but you’re really on the front lines working to implement lasting and meaningful change. I appreciate the ability to be connected to broader issues and topics that are relevant in the field."
