Innovation Scholars (IS) programming provides liberal arts students the unique opportunity to engage in the business development processes of new medical innovations in real time. Programs broaden interdisciplinary learning opportunities by exploring innovations at the intersection of science, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. Multidisciplinary teams of four undergraduate science and economics students led by masters-level graduate student team leaders work in a hybrid format to complete team projects identified by Mayo Clinic and early-stage medical companies focusing on challenges associated with commercialization of healthcare innovations, products, and ideas. Teams present their findings in the form of business plans, presentations, or specific deliverables requested by participating start-up companies or Mayo Clinic.
Carleton’s 2022-2023 Project – Carleton has been assigned a project originating from Mayo Clinic. Teamwork occurs between the end of October and beginning of March in a hybrid format with each student investing approximately 150-160 hours into the team project. The experience culminates with a presentation of the team’s research and recommendations in the form of a business plan or other requested deliverables to the Mayo inventors and project managers. Teams gain valuable insights and experience in the process of product development and moving innovations to the marketplace. Each undergraduate student on the team receives a $1,500 stipend.
To learn more about this program, plan on attending the info session next Thursday at noon (lunch served – RSVP in advance) where you will hear from Carleton’s faculty mentors and learn additional details about this exciting opportunity!
