Dr. Troy Akers
Troy is an emergency physician in Augusta, Georgia. His path started as an Army flight surgeon and ran through residency, Army attending, and the past several years leading emergency medicine and CMO work at his hospital. That mix gives him a clear view of the field from the trauma bay to the C-suite, and he believes medicine is held together by the people in every role who refuse to let it become impersonal. He started The Consult so those people could find each other, a community spanning EMS, nursing, physicians, admins, and ancillary staff. Outside of work, Troy and Nancy stay busy with entrepreneurial ventures and time with their daughters, Mollie and Laney.
Ibrahim Mohammad
Ibrahim is a student in the Medical College of Georgia's 7-year BS/MD program, where his focus sits at the intersection of technology and clinical medicine. That orientation drives his work at The Consult, a platform built on the conviction that physicians deserve signal over noise, and access to a community that reflects the seriousness of their work. Outside of coursework and research, he is on the basketball court, in the gym, or in the kitchen testing something ambitious.
Ray Wade
Ray is an honors pre-med student at Augusta University. His introduction to medicine came through caregiving, an experience that revealed the discipline to be as much about human connection as clinical science. At The Consult, he is building the kind of community he believes healthcare needs: one where professionals stay current, think critically, and engage with the field beyond the walls of their own institution. He spends his time outside the classroom training, backpacking, and in the company of his dog Cookie.
