Medical Hackathon

• Description: A short term goal of the UVa Leadership Circle is to host a medical hackathon to get hundreds of students involved in health care entrepreneurship at UVa in a fun, relaxing, and engaging way. 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 healthcare and medical technology innovation. The reason for emphasis on recruiting young students is to help ensure that the UVa community can continually become engaged in medical technology and healthcare innovation for att least 3 years as demonstrated by additional hackathons and successful project grant applications.
