About

Our Mission

To empower the next generation of medical innovators by providing the platform, resources, and connections required to develop their visionary ideas and lay a path to commercialization.

A medicine-first pitch competition.

The Med Innovation Expo was born from a simple observation: too many brilliant ideas from medical students and residents were never being developed. The solution was simple. Create a dedicated platform that brings industry partners, investors and brilliant ideas together in order to lay a path to commercialization.
