MEP promotes entrepreneurship education as a bridge between research and clinical practice. Our organization started in 2004 with the mission of advancing global public health education in Tanzania, China and India. In the last three years, we have grown to support simple medical devices, invented by students, through the process of prototype development, clinical trials, and, in the future, commercialization. We have launched two Johns Hopkins-recognized courses. In the first course, students complete evaluations of medical devices through clinical observations at Johns Hopkins Hospital and hospitals throughout Mumbai, Pune, Valsad and Dervan India. In the fall course, students will spend several weeks working in interdisciplinary teams to develop executive summary for a medical device. In these two courses students learn about the scientific foundation, global health context, and business ecosystem for these devices. Through this work, MEP facilitates and fosters interdisciplinary education, entrepreneurship and medical innovation.
