**Medventions Fellowship Program**

**Fall 2023 Recruitment (September - December, 4 month term, temporary full-time)**

**Job Title**: Medventions Fellow/Medical technology Innovation Fellow (Several openings)

**_Overview_**

Medventions fellowship program is a fast-paced, project-based training structure for students and recent graduates with a passion for entrepreneurship and a commitment to improving health care for patients around the world through technology innovation and commercialization.

Over four months, multidisciplinary teams of aspiring medical technology innovators work closely with academic and industry advisors to identify and validate clinical needs, develop and prototype new health technology solutions, and become well-positioned to plan for their commercialization and implementation into patient care.

**_Position Summary_**

**_Position Responsibilities & Essential Functions:_**

**_\_**The configuration of the Medventions fellowship program allows fellows to get involved in clinical immersion, identification and verification of clinical problems, ideation, and the making of an early proof of concept or a prototype for a new medical device.

The four-month fellowship is divided into three main phases with the following structure:

- _Phase 1: Clinical needs identification, verification, and assessment_
- _Phase 2: Ideation and brainstorming_
- _Phase 3: Concept development, product design and prototyping_

Generally, fellows are required to:

- Perform clinical observations through shadowing physicians in operating rooms, rounds in the intensive care units, catheterization laboratory, patients’ floors, outpatient clinics, etc.
- Identify and document clinical challenges that impose a significant clinical burden
- Complete thorough analysis for the identified problems; this includes a stakeholder and market analysis, and a study for the disease state fundamentals and treatment options. Interns will also research and consult with faculty & perform literature and patent searches.
- Develop a medical solution concept that addresses the clinical need and problem identified
- Translate the final concept into a prototype - the goal is to use prototyping to create design requirements and generate high-level specifications related to technical feasibility for the innovation under consideration

**_Skills and Qualifications_**

We believe the following qualifications will help fellows become successful:

- Entrepreneurial mindset; action and detail oriented, analytical, sees problems as opportunities, comfortable with ambiguity, self-learner with strong business acumen
- Proven ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
- Demonstrated excellence in problem-solving, decision making, and critical thinking
- Highly motivated individual with the ability to work under pressure
- Strong interest in innovation and change across health care, design thinking, entrepreneurship and creativity
