Key Logistics
Throughout the weekend, participants outline pain points in our healthcare system, come together to form inter-professional teams, and create innovative solutions in response to these pressing problems. The weekend wraps up with team presentations, judging, and prize awards. The event serves as a foundation for ideas to positively impact health outcomes and the healthcare journey.
Check out all the information needed to make your journey more comfortable.
Mentors
Each year we bring in innovative mentors to help guide teams through the three day event. After formulating teams, each team will get the chance to refine their ideas over two days with mentor feedback, and pitch their final idea at the end of the three-day event.
