WHO WE ARE

Second Opinions was founded by Northwestern medical students with experience in strategy consulting at top-tier firms. They are joined by a team of classmates who are passionate about helping community health centers achieve their goals and better serve their patients. Collectively, our analysts draw on a diverse set of experiences from clinical wards, corporate boardrooms, start-up companies, and public health initiatives.

HOW WE WORK

We are dedicated to creating high quality output for the organizations we work with. 
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.

​- The Winston Knolls School -
From our first meeting it was clear that Second Opinions was committed to delivering an end project that would meet the needs of our organization. Their interest in assisting non-profits, who often do not lack talent, but resources, in regards to data analysis, communications and quality improvement, was equally matched by their expertise and professionalism. Timelines were adhered to, objectives were met and the end product exceeded our expectations.
