Scientific breakthroughs are not reaching patients fast enough, taking an average of 17 years for discoveries to impact everyday care. The Atria Academy collaborates across disciplines to connect discovery to health care and technology to treatment.

The Academy translates breakthroughs in medical literature into innovative, impactful, real-time solutions. We freely share our findings with other health care leaders and the public, advancing health care today and powering a movement for years to come.

The 50+ fellows in the Academy of Science & Medicine accelerate the speed at which breakthroughs reach patients, other doctors, and the public. With access to the most important advances in medical research, this unique, diverse group of experts will collaborate to develop new protocols that continuously raise the bar in daily medical practice. Together, we are elevating procedural standards for clinicians and patients alike to advance and help shape the future of healthcare.

Sharing best-in-class knowledge with physicians and the public.

The Academy brings together experts in more than 30 disciplines from four countries and three continents. In aggregate, they have authored more than 8,600 scientific papers, and studies by Academy members have a combined 878,400 citations. The Academy members have expertise in genetics, sports medicine, cancer, sleep, integrative medicine, geriatrics, metabolic health, resilience, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, and more.
