For Students
We work with students to offer courses, mentorship, and opportunities to build and scale your healthcare venture.

Strategy Sessions
CBIT’s interdisciplinary team is highly experienced in mentoring academic researchers, clinicians and students through the technology development and biomedical commercialization process. They offer access to a deep pool of industry mentors with expertise in diagnostics, digital health, medical devices, and platform technologies who are willing to work with novice entrepreneurs. Mentorship is centered around four essential elements: business, technical, clinical, and regulatory guidance. CBIT members work with innovators to set milestones that address all four of these needs; an approach that is not always intuitive to scientists, clinicians, or students who are unfamiliar with the business world. You are even able to walk in to CBIT and connect with a mentor the very same day!
