By providing critical commentary to today’s medical issues, NIAAH’s Medical Expert Panel is composed of African American physicians and scientists from across the country. No issue is too small, and all voices are heard. The latest breaking news and best practices in our healthcare will always be on NIAAH.org first. By using our national network of African American physicians as a resource, NIAAH has also created a patient advocacy medical board that can review the clinical care provided to African American patients, as well as serve as expert witnesses in malpractice cases where there is a significant lapse in care. Only by holding providers accountable, can African Americans be the active recipients of the best quality patient care.
