Workshops

Participants will have the exclusive opportunity to attend workshops, where healthcare professionals are invited to participate in individual talks, fireside chats, and discussion panels. These events will help students learn more about healthcare innovation in general, as well as, specific topics like creating a business plan and giving a pitch. Experts leading these workshops will take the participants through the crucial phases of entrepreneurship.
