2009 Medical Advisory Board

The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership formed a National Medical Advisory Board to cultivate richer healthcare involvement in medical-legal partnership and support current and future physicians and health care leaders in advocacy in a broad range of clinical settings.  Board members serve a one-year term.

Board members are recruited from medical-legal partnerships nationwide for their commitment to advocating for vulnerable populations.  They represent pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, oncology and geriatrics and bring expertise in various components of successful medical-legal partnership.  Board members embody a full range of clinical perspectives and are doctors, nurses, social workers and public health leaders.

The Board provides guidance to NCMLP regarding:

• Cultivating new and existing medical involvement across clinical settings;
• Raising the profile of medical-legal partnership nationally;
• Strategic participation in national and local medical and legal conferences;
• Progress of the MLP Working Groups; and,
• Innovations in medical-legal partnership.
