How consulting benefits research.

Faculty consulting has long been recognized as a legitimate expression of the traditional faculty role and mission of academic institutions. It provides opportunities for university researchers to confront real world challenges, identify and collaborate with industry experts, and contribute expertise that helps answer questions to improve medical research and patient care.  As a result, faculty consulting enhances research and teaching, resulting in benefits to the institution, the society, and the individual.
