About
The Summer Student Product Innovation Program is a partnership between the Wexner Medical Center and the Center for Software Innovation.
In this program, students will get real-world, hands-on experience within the Innovation and New Capabilities Team at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (WMC). This opportunity is perfect for any student interested in going into or building within the healthtech/healthcare industry.
Students will be partnered in groups of three cross-disciplinary product teams to take a problem, already identified by the WMC team, all the way to prototype. Participants are expected to work in-person on campus Tuesdays-Thursdays for 20 hours per week (locations may vary between hospital, office, etc).
By the end of this 13-week paid program (Tues May 13-Thurs Aug 14), participants will have:
- Experience building product (0⇢1)
- Worked on a multidisciplinary team
- Had unique exposure to the healthtech industry
- Shipped a prototype or proof of concept
Throughout the process, the WMC team will:
- Provide a valued, rarefied look at the challenges and opportunities in healthcare & healthtech
- Consult on the technological capabilities of the WMC
- Provide necessary healthcare context needed to make informed product decisions in the digital health space
- Help navigate & provide access to the WMC and key stakeholders
Additionally, the Center for Software Innovation team will:
- Meet with the individual teams weekly
- Help plan two-week product sprints, deliverables, and milestones on the path to delivering a proof of concept or prototype at the end of the 13-week program
