Medical Hackathon

A short term goal of the UVa Leadership Circle is to host a medical hackathon to get hundreds of students excited for health care entrepreneurship at UVa. The student run organization that will put the hackathon together will be a new student run club called Emerging Medical Technology Ventures or EMTV. The end goal of the hackathon is two fold: 1) recruit young students of different backgrounds and majors to join EMTV and 2) have hackathon participants carry out projects that result from the hackathon.  A medical hackathon could serve as the spark for serious undegraduate involvement in real world healthcare and medical projects.
