FAQ

Common questions about Fractional CMO and advisory work

Answers to help you decide which engagement fits your company.

What is a Fractional Chief Medical Officer?

A Fractional CMO provides executive medical leadership on a part-time or retainer basis. You get the strategic benefit of an experienced physician executive without the cost and commitment of a full-time Chief Medical Officer hire.

How is a Fractional CMO different from an advisor?

A Fractional CMO is embedded in your company: attending leadership meetings, shaping clinical strategy and often representing medical affairs to investors and partners. Advisory work is typically project-based or scheduled around a specific question, board meeting or product review.

What types of companies benefit most?

Seed to Series B healthcare startups, digital health platforms, care delivery companies and health-tech teams that need physician leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CMO.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Engagements are tailored to your stage. A Fractional CMO retainer usually includes a set number of hours per month, standing meetings, clinical review and strategic counsel. Advisory engagements are scoped around a specific deliverable or time frame.

How much time does a Fractional CMO commit?

It depends on your needs. Common arrangements range from a few hours per week to several days per month. The scope is designed to flex as your company grows.
