• A clinic
• An insurance company
• A nonprofit health care organization
• Or an organization of your choice. The organization should not be a federal, state, or local agency and must include information that is publically available.

Cite at least 1 reputable reference per team member. Reputable references include discipline specific scholarly trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, a textbook, or other sources of similar quality.
