We deliver unquestionable science

The pursuit and application of knowledge is the cornerstone of what we do.

We ground everything in science.

This means scientific expertise and in-depth, in-house medical and clinical experience.

Most of our Avant Healthcare medical team hold an advanced degree—PhD, MD, PharmD, or MPH—and possess both subject matter expertise and the ability to serve as effective strategic communication partners to you. This translates into strong scientific strategies, impactful communications, and relevant education for your DOLs/KOLs, advisors, and communities.
