Medical Advisors

The structure of the Spine Medicine Institute includes a board of medical directors and a council of medical advisors. The medical directors and medical advisors participate in case conferences, journal clubs, and seminars to integrate specialties, promote transparency and collaborate as providers.

Medical advisors are providers who have a majority of their practice related to spine care and are interested in a multidisciplinary, outcome-based, team approach. Medical advisors are expected to participate in monthly journal clubs and case conferences, and support transparency in data collection and reporting outcomes.
