The Clinician/Scientist Entrepreneurial Mindset: An Introduction to Innovation for Real-world Health Care Settings
- This event has passed.
Having a positive impact on patients and the health system is the dream of many clinicians and researchers. Creating solutions for an identified gap or improvement in care and implementing them in real-world settings is a clear path to achieving that ambition.
Come hear Dr. Elicia Maine discuss how cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset will help clinicians and researchers translate their innovations into impact. Based on decades of academic research and industry expertise, Dr. Maine founded the Invention to Innovation (i2I) Program in 2015 at SFU’s Beedie School of Business.
This event will share insights and actions from this award-winning program and other offerings, tailored for Providence Health Care.
This event will equally benefit the scientist who wants to move an innovation from the lab to the market and clinicians looking to solve problems in direct care settings.
