Medical Entrepreneurship Club

Club Description

The Medical Entrepreneurship Club at UVA hopes to bridge the gap between medicine and entrepreneurship by providing students with the knowledge, resources, and networking opportunities to explore innovation in the healthcare sector. With the increasing prevalence of health-tech, biotech, and medical startups, our club aims to equip pre-med, pre-comm, and other interested students with the skills necessary to navigate this evolving landscape.We host monthly meetings featuring guest speakers, including founders, executives, and professors, who share insights into the challenges and opportunities within medical entrepreneurship. Additionally, we provide online content to educate members on core concepts in the field and facilitate networking opportunities through medical entrepreneurship conferences. Eventually, we plan to travel to conferences and enter into pitch competitions to give our members hands-on experience. We are also working with several biotech startups to pipeline dedicated members into internship opportunities. Our club welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, including pre-med, pre-comm, and computer science, to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. By becoming a CIO, we aim to formalize our presence at UVA, gain access to more resources and create a lasting impact on the university’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
