OUR MISSION
Our mission is to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs and high-impact health innovations.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to establish a vibrant culture of entrepreneurship and seamless interdisciplinary collaborations between clinicians,
researchers, entrepreneurs, hospitals, and industry partners.
We are building entrepreneurial capacity for identifying health innovation opportunities and accelerating the development of new medical technologies.
Our program offerings provide the education, coaching, and mentorship needed at critical stages of health innovation development. You may be in the beginning stage and have an innovative idea but don’t know next steps, or you may be further along in your journey and already have a concept in development, but need coaching and resources to move your health innovation forward.
Whether you are an undergraduate student, a faculty member, researcher, or clinician, you can build your own custom roadmap from the program offerings to best support you in your health innovation journey. Questions? Connect with us by email.
