Description

NUvention: Medical (ENTREP 470, BMD_ENG 495, HCAK 615 and 616, PPTYTORT 641, INTERDEP 4017) is designed to expose students to the holistic process of developing and commercializing new medical technologies through the lens of a startup. A partnership between four Northwestern schools, this class brings together students in interdisciplinary teams to simulate the ways in which medical innovations evolve from clinical needs and become viable ventures. Over the course of six months, students engage with challenges tied to product development, intellectual property, industry regulations, and business modeling as they learn what it means to be entrepreneurial in the medical technology space.
