The MAVEN Project

The MAVEN Project is a national telehealth nonprofit that supports primary care providers (PCPs) in delivering exceptional comprehensive care to patients nationwide via telehealth. We do this by recruiting and retaining a corps of experienced volunteer physicians who work closely with PCPs to educate, advise, and enhance in-place care capacity in community health centers.  

The foundation of this work is a high-touch program comprised of three core strategies that enhance comprehensive patient care while supporting providers professionally and personally:  

  • Consults: consults between PCPs and physician volunteers on de-identified patient cases. We offer live video and phone consults, and asynchronous eConsults, which allow PCPs to email volunteers about anything from follow-up questions to advice on a proposed course of treatment.  
  • Education Sessions: focused on practical clinical care, these sessions occur in group settings and use a “grand rounds” model (often a case study or a disease-specific session) followed by rich Q&A sessions. Many of these sessions offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.  
  • Mentoring: sessions between PCPs and volunteers support professional development and provide confidential spaces to ask questions. We offer two mentorship tracks
    • Clinical mentorship where PCPs are partnered with volunteers who have deep primary care experience. 
    •  Leadership mentorship where clinic leaders are paired with volunteers with expertise in management and clinic operations.  

 

Our Specialties & Service Area  

Currently volunteers represent over 40 clinical specialties ranging from primary care disciplines to specialty care and connect with PCPs working in community health centers in rural and urban American across nine states and expanding.
