Job Description Summary: *Cover Letter Required* About the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), established in 1970 under the name Institute of Medicine (IOM), is an independent organization of eminent professionals from diverse fields including health and medicine; the natural, social, and behavioral sciences; and beyond. With the authority of the 1863 Congressional Charter of the National Academy of Sciences requested and signed by President Abraham Lincoln, the NAM serves alongside the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering as adviser to the nation and the international community. The NAM's mission is to advance science, inform policy, and catalyze action to achieve human health, equity, and well-being. About the Program To meet the demands of 21st Century health challenges, the NAM Leadership Consortium (LC) brings together leaders from major public and private organizations across all sectors of the nation's health system-clinicians, patients, health care institutions, public health, technology and data leaders, scientists, manufacturers, payers, employers, and regulators. Working through the National Academies' Congressionally chartered mandate to provide independent, trusted, and science-based counsel, the LC is uniquely positioned to align these sectors in advancing a continuously learning and improving health system. At a time of profound fragmentation, it stands as the only national entity explicitly dedicated to coordinating action across organizations to achieve transformative system effectiveness, affordability, and fairness. The Consortium's strength lies in the shared commitment of its members to collective progress-recognizing that advances in science, informatics, incentives, and culture are interdependent and must be pursued together. At its core, the LC is grounded in building and sustaining trust-by ensuring that the system's design, priorities, and performance are centered on the needs, preferences, and goals of the people it serves. The members of the LC work cooperatively through leadership networks and four Action Collaboratives operating within the four Learning Health System (LHS) domains (science, informatics, incentives, culture): the Evidence & Data Action Collaborative (science); Digital Health & AI Action Collaborative (informatics); Value Incentives & Systems Action Collaborative (incentives); and the Trust & Engagement Action Collaborative (culture). The LHS Strategy Group, comprised of leaders of various aspects of LHS advancement, provides guidance to LHS infrastructure and communication strategies of the LC.
