COACHING. MENTORSHIP. NETWORKING.
The Clinic’s 3,000 sq ft innovation hub equips emerging health inventors with education, resources, and support to move innovations forward. The Clinic brings together students, staff, faculty, and entrepreneurs to explore innovative ideas with the potential to change the face of health care.
The Clinic’s offerings range from supporting undergraduates as they navigate entrepreneurship as a potential career choice, through to clinician entrepreneurs and researchers creating start-up companies from their labs and commercializing inventions. The Clinic’s programs and mentoring network are led by a stellar team of McMaster faculty, all health innovators themselves, sharing the passion to coach and mentor other health innovators through their entrepreneurial journey to commercialization. Innovators coming through The Clinic can expect to grow their critical networks and connect with other health entrepreneurs, receive coaching and mentorship to work through any roadblocks, and get the support needed for next steps towards commercialization.
With our Clinic on Demand membership, entrepreneurs can join our community throughout the year to gain access to our resources to help move their innovations forward.
The Clinic is proud to be one of only two Mitacs-approved incubators at McMaster University. Learn more.
The Clinic network was made possible through the generosity of
Marnix and Mary Heersink and their family.
With their support, we have created a unique learning experience
for emerging health innovators.
