Our Team

For over 40 years, Mr. Boll’s passion has been growing and advancing Graduate Medical Education in America. After spending 28 years working with some of the largest academic institutions in the country, he left that position to focus full time on creating greater transparency and understanding of GME programs. His idea was to start Germane Solutions, a firm that combined cutting edge technology and years of hard-earned expertise in order to give clients more insight than ever before. In addition to being CEO of Germane, Art also has extensive experience developing ambulatory care services, maximizing reimbursement opportunities, structuring of academic support agreements, and creating economic incentives for teaching, research and clinical programs. Art has conducted numerous training sessions and presentations for organizations such as the AHA, AAMC, GBA, AHME and various state health care organizations.
