= Medical Hackathon =
'''Description: '''A short -term goal of the UVa UVA Leaderhship Circle is to host a medical hackathon to that will get hundreds of students involved in health care healthcare entrepreneurship at UVa 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:
*One, to recruit young students of different backgrounds and majors to join EMTV and,
*TwoAnd two, have hackathon participants carry out projets that result from the hackathon.
<br/>A medical hackathon could serve as the spark for serious undergraduat undergraduate involvement in healthcare and medical technology innovation. The reason for emphasis on recruiting young students is to help ensure that the UVa UVA community can continually become engaged in medical technology and healthcare innovation for at least 3 years , as demonstrated by additional hackathons and successful project grant applications.
