DESCRIPTION
NUvention Medical is designed to provide students with real-world experience as an innovator and entrepreneur in the rapidly evolving fields of health care devices and heath technology. Taught by a team of experienced healthcare entrepreneurs, innovators, and medical practitioners, the overall course goal is to develop an in-depth business plan, investor presentation, and viable product prototype for a new medical startup firm. To navigate the complex healthcare landscape, students form cross-disciplinary teams (including at least one student from Kellogg, Feinberg, McCormick, and Pritzker) to conceive of and identify an innovative new healthcare product and work to evaluate the opportunity with support from leading industry guest lecturers and direct mentoring from experience faculty advisors.
