In this course, students are introduced to various aspects of medical device entrepreneurship. The students acquire a very diverse set of soft skills and are exposed to all steps required to bring a research discovery to a medical product or service. Lectures will be centered around case studies and often given by guest speakers from start-ups, regulatory experts, patent attorneys, clinical trial specialists, and investment firms to give students a sense of the process and challenges in developing their own business idea. Students will have the opportunity to discuss case studies based on other people’s experience of bringing medical devices to market and the specific challenges associated with the development of new products in the medical sector
