Close Concerns is a healthcare information company focused on diabetes and obesity, dedicated to improving patient outcomes by educating researchers, business leaders, and healthcare providers about cutting-edge diabetes and obesity news and research. We publish a subscription news service, Closer Look, which provides up-to-the-minute analysis on events in the diabetes and obesity fields. Our subscribers include a wide range of companies and nonprofit organizations in the diabetes and obesity arenas. We also advise leaders in these fields on a variety of strategic issues, ranging from new product introductions to primary market research with patients and healthcare providers. The company is led by Kelly Close (Amherst '90, Harvard Business School '95) and includes 11 full-time employees, as well as a number of external contributors and advisors. Over 60 Dartmouth students have participated in our "Dartmouth Fellows" program, established in 2012 by Jess Dong '12.
The Dartmouth Fellow position is ideal for someone with a significant science or healthcare background and interest, or experience working in these areas; additional interest in public health and/or business is also appropriate. The position is ~10-12 weeks in duration and is offered every academic quarter to one-two Dartmouth students; this position will begin around the start of the Fall 2024 term, and exact dates are flexible (we are also accepting applications for the Winter 2025, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025 terms to assist with academic planning). While we are cognizant of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have a strong preference that the Fellowship is completed in San Francisco, CA. Dartmouth Fellows assume significant responsibility and autonomy at Close Concerns while working closely with one or two people in the company, often have the opportunity to cover academic meetings, and sometimes complete independent projects or lead journal publications. Successful Dartmouth Fellows receive bonuses for their strong performance, and there is the possibility of being extended a full-time offer following graduation.
