Current healthcare reform efforts underscore the importance of innovation to reduce cost while improving quality and safety. Development of mobile health technologies, devices for medical homes, PHRs, etc., requires leaders who can think and act like entrepreneurs. Dr. Locke and the faculty of HST.921 will discuss all aspects of the course: the mix of lectures by world leaders, skills-based tutorial sessions and faculty-mentored work on industry-sponsored projects. Student teams will participate in an experiential workshop collaborating in an impromptu design of a device. A debriefing and prize will be awarded to the winning team. Lunch will be provided.

"From bench to bedside" is a core focus of HST, often requiring
business to effect the translation. Physicians, scientists and
researchers may have the opportunity to interact with business - so
concepts, vocabulary, and case studies can be quite helpful and
interesting.
miniMBA 2.0 is being offered at HMS for a 2nd IAP with a completely
new set of cases, topics, and speakers including:
- The Anatomy and Physiology of Venture Capital
- Innovation in healthcare - why is it so hard?
- The role of regulators and impact on translational medicine
- Vaccine development - a case study
A review session will be offered to cover key ideas discussed last
year.
