    2.  To recognize the use of 3d printing in rapid prototyping for lean start ups;

    3.  To appreciate role of 3d printing in creativity.

    4.  To level up entrepreneurship into technology and frontiers of science

The invitation of the speaker can be counted as group project.

What:   use of 3 d printing in entrepreneurship (rapid prototyping ) and medical profession

Who:    audience     :   other MBAH students, other entrep students, of Dr. Del Carmen and Dr. George Fong,  friends and other colleague.

           He will speak on:

          3d printing  history and its presence in Phil

         3d printing application in medicine and medical technoloyg

         Metal 3 d printer which has application in:

              1.  rapid prototyping

              2.  aerospace

              3.  medical

              4.  dental

              5.  defense

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.?
