2. the education and development of the next generation of leaders in healthcare innovation and the creation and early-stage development of healthcare solutions that have a transformational impact on human health around the world. ~ Our key measure of success is the positive impact our students and our technologies have on the quality and accessibility of healthcare. CBID’s Mission, 2 Key Elements

3. not bench to bedside bedside to bench to bedside healthcare innovation that starts with and returns to the clinician-patient interaction Clinical Immersion Essential to our Approach

4. IMPLEMENT IDENTIFY INVENT Starts in Summer with Three Courses: Identification and Validation of Medical Needs Clinical immersion, observations, interviews Training in Ethnographic techniques Business of Biomed Innovation and Design (1 of 3) Assessment, value prop, markets, competition, IP Case studies, group projects, interactions with experts from industry, VCs Regulation of Medical Devices 8-Lecture series on FDA mandate & process 1-Year MSE Degree Program

5. Cast the net wide – Breadth first Two core rotations (3 weeks each) from a menu of four options Two elective rotations (2 weeks) from a menu of 20-25 options Number of students restricted to 6-8 per department. Focus on generating needs with high clinical impact Direct observation, directed observation, stakeholder interviews (with supporting coursework) First filter- Weekly clinical feedback Dig deep into few needs that have generated the most clinical excitement. Revisit select departments (specifically sub-specialities). More selective observations, for needs assessment and parameterization Multiple interactive sessions with clinicians. Several presentations to Investors and Entrepreneurs in respective specialties Similar models applied for global health clinical rotations Stakeholders are somewhat different from US context Clinical Immersions ‘T’ model: Breadth then Selective Depth
