From HBR - Medical Entrepreneurship a New Movement to Accelerate Cures
Doctorpreneurs
I was tasked with making a presentation on Medical Entrepreneurship by Dr Efren Laxamana and I prepared a PPT for the said topic. Unfortunately, the event for the presentation never came. I like the topic that is why I prepared the slide.
The recent conference for GSB I was told that the output of MBAH focused on research on medical science innovation. I had students before Dr. Catan who had numerous invention on prosthesis and orthopedic devices, and a surgeon now at ASMPH who had numerous inventions for surgical equipment. Truly there were numerous outstanding work by doctors in their field, outside of the MBA but within the scope of their practice as professions.
There is a recent article in HBR on the said subject matter. The article decried Kaizen, baby steps innovation in the medical practice. It called for quantum type of innovation, and breakthroughs, lke cure for Alzheimer, or cancer, or prostrate. However, many researchers are hampered by focus on getting the funding and writing the research proposal rather than the research
How can we structure a class syllabus that will aim to develop such kind of doctors.?
