New Events Research Convention in MDE for undergrad and graduate students, better chance to engage in research pertaining to MDE (strengthens ties between the universities) Discussions in MDE a monthly engaging seminar on the philosophical issues remaining in MDE; an intersection of MDE and philosophy. MDE Networking Convention this would be the first annual MDE networking session sponsored by the club. Guest speakers, philosophical discussion, and a session for anyone contemplating a career in MDE. Collaborations with Emory, GSU, and GT. MDE Speaker Series the club will try to host at least one MDE based guest speaker every 2 months upon the overall interest of the Club. We can partner with the IMPACT speaker series already established at Georgia Tech to have speakers specifically geared toward our audience. August 2011 January 2011 Action Plan... TBA 1. TBA the rest of the things should be discussed at the first general meeting 3 P age
4 Motivation to Start the Club 1) Large Barriers to Entry Most college students do not have the capital (both physical and intellectual) to start and run a business. This club could try to reduce the barrier to entry by: a. capital investment pool capital to allow for individuals to pursue ideas, diversification of capital to allow for students to pursue ideas b. hands on education teach students how to become entrepreneurs through groupcreated medical device case studies c. teambuilding assemble teams with fellow MDE at GT d. data acquisition safety and effectiveness, econometrics, and marketing e. peer review evaluate student ideas to assess marketability and competition f. networking expand business credibility well established, club sponsored MDE mentors 2) Lack of Structured MDE Education there is a general lack of structured education for medical device entrepreneurship for undergraduate and graduate students it is mostly a self learned set of skills. What about the idea that you can simulate medical device experience within an undergraduate curriculum this would set GT apart from almost all the other universities. a. How can this be done? (some ideas: Mini medical device companies, student led initiatives, new classes in MDE) b. The goal of the club is to not teach people how to make money, but to teach students how to become medical device entrepreneurs 3) Lack of Mentorship to Young Medical Device Entrepreneurs I have found that it is very difficult to get in contact with successful medical device entrepreneurs without some networking organization involved. This club could act a mentor magnet for those seeking mentorship in MDE. It could also provide mentorship services to those seeking mentorship in MDE. a. We could allow successful medical device entrepreneurs by letting them into the peerreview process of medical device ideas b. Inventure prize many BME students are involved in the Inventure prize and could use the services of this club to hone a medically oriented business idea 4) Lack of Career Counseling in Medical Device Entrepreneurship there seems to be a general lack of career counseling in the medical device entrepreneurship to GT students (or the year age group altogether). This club could spark passion or give realistic feedback to those who are contemplating MDE as a career. a. this club could help people identify if they would rather be research consultants or entrepreneurs through simulations of medical device entrepreneurial case studies 5) Lack of Integration of the Entrepreneurial Disciplines at GT I have tried to contact the various entrepreneur clubs at GT, but these entrepreneurship initiatives seem to be scattered and random; this club could partner with the other clubs to create a more unified entrepreneurialminded atmosphere at GT. a. SEMDA, Community for Entrepreneurs, GT Entrepreneurial club 4 P age
5 6) Lack of Medical Device Entrepreneurship Career Networking Opportunities this club could act as a networking club to those who are in industry working as MD entrepreneurs or to those who are seeking to expand their network into the MD related area (for job leads and teambuilding). 7) Lack of Integration of Research Pertaining to MDE I think it would be really cool if we could use this organization as a research hub for medical device entrepreneurship. What strategies work in MDE, and how can we teach them? There are a lot of research questions that have not been answered with respect to MDE, and to use this club as a body to integrate individuals t answer these questions could have a broad spectrum of applications (to many different disciplines and fields). a. Opportunities for undergrads/grads to perform research on medical device entrepreneurship b. Creation of a peer reviewed journal for medical device entrepreneurship 5 P age
6 What This Club Can Provide to GT Students 1) Medical Device Entrepreneurship Training various aspects of entrepreneurship training a. Leadership b. innovation and creativity c. Network structure d. Business Plan e. Specialized Skills (marketing, regulatory, clinical) f. Mentorship Acquisition (senior executive advising) g. Integration of Skills (capstone business creation) 2) Medical Device Networking Events meet with other medical device student entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in industry a. Inventure Prize Recruiting b. Partner with Roundtable and BBUGs c. SEMDA advising possibilities (Southeast Medical Device Association) d. Club Contacts in Industry 3) Inventure Prize Mentoring advising those on the originality and marketability of certain ideas, like publishing a paper a. Confidentiality agreement b. Peer review process of entrepreneurial ideas (Panel of Experienced Judges) i. Viability of idea ii. Originality of idea iii. Cost effectiveness relative to competition iv. Possible Risks v. Constructive Feedback to improve prototype c. Tailoring ideas to a specific market, expanding market scope 4) MDE Open Forum creating a defined set of medical device entrepreneurial rules; a bimonthly discussion group on entrepreneurship to spark interest and innovation within the GT community a. What is medical device entrepreneurship and in what ways does it differ from regular entrepreneurship? b. Why is it so difficult for those with little industry experience to enter into a career of medical device entrepreneurship? c. How can we simulate the medical device startup atmosphere in an undergraduate or graduate level setting? d. What skills are necessary to be a successful medical device entrepreneur? e. What sacrifices are necessary to enter into medical device entrepreneurship? f. How do medical device entrepreneurs attain venture capital to jumpstart an idea or business? g. What types of ideas attract venture capitalists to invest in a medical device company? h. How do you assemble a team to start a medical device company? and more 6 P age
7 Frequency of Meetings MDE Discussion Forums once a month MDE Guest Speakers ~twice a semester MDE General Meetings once a month MDE Education Events once a month (themes) MDE Mentorship Event once a school year MDE Networking Event once a school year MDE Research Events once a semester MDE Publication, Peer Reviewed once a year (initially) 7 P age
8 April 2012 to May 2012 Action Plan 1. Faculty Sponsors 2. Making a Website 3. Advertising the Club 4. Anticipated Collaborations 5. Electing Officers Next Year 6. A Glimpse into the Schedule for the Fall 8 P age
9 Faculty Sponsors We are currently looking for a faculty sponsor. Some sponsors in mind are: 1) Franklin Bost, MBA 2) David Ku, M.D./Ph.D. 9 P age
10 Making a Website I have had some experience with FTP and webhosting services, and I am thinking about using a drupal template to make a website for the Club. Drupal software is a very powerful opensource content management system that allows for easy publication for events, subscription to a newsletter, and blogging. I think for the purpose of the Club, this software package would be the best option due to the versatility that the software provides to the user. 1) What is a suitable domain name? 2) We currently have a template installed, check it out 10 P age
11 Advertising the Club With all the new forms of social media, the best way to plant a seed for a new venture, especially an interest group, would probably be through Facebook. At least initially, I think the best way to recruit members would be through a social media facility until the club has a reputation that stands for itself. Therefore, I would like to publish weekly updates on facebook and get as many members to join the group as possible by May 1 st. In addition, I plan on making two to three fliers to post around campus to increase general campus awareness about the Association s existence. Particularly, I want to focus on the need for officers in the club, and application to be sent to my address if people are interested in running. Lastly, I would like to send out s to other schools and organizations to increase awareness of the Club in the general Atlanta community. These s will be important for the collaborations that we plan to establish with Emory, Georgia State, professional organizations, and various other campus organizations. To sum, we plan to advertise the club via: 1) Social media facebook, weekly updates and member counts. Try to maximize group participation by May 1 st. 2) Fliers fliers passed out around campus to stir interest in people running for officer positions, a startup and innovative feel 3) connect with Sarah, the new Lab coordinator to publish information and updates about the club, to recruit grad students for the various activities. In addition, I plan to use mail to connect with various clubs and organizations to increase awareness of the Club in the general Atlanta community. 11 P age
12 Anticipated Collaborations I may be a little bit ambitious as to the number and quality of possible collaborations with the club, but I believe that with enough effort put into advertising and connecting with these organizations, we can successfully connect and have quality collaborations with the groups listed below: Internal Collaborations Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) "GTBMES was created to promote the profession of biomedical engineering and to acquaint the student body with ideas, purposes, and objectives of the bioengineering field. Our interests extend from tissue and cellular engineering, to biomaterials and biological interfaces, to biological signal processing and instrumentation, to biomechanics, rheology, and integrative biology." Biomedical Research and Opportunities Society (BROS) "The Biomedical Research and Opportunities society exists to advocate involvement in BME/biosciences research, give members opportunities to present their research, foster a deeper understanding of the field and what GT does for it. Another key facet of our mission is to keep members informed about scholarships, study/work abroad opportunities, grad school possibilities, and application procedures." Enterprise to Empower (en2em) "Enterprise to Empower (En2Em) is a Georgia Tech student organization that seeks to educate, enable, and engage students in social entrepreneurship, helping them discover how their skills and talents in any field from business to engineering can be applied to the social problems of the world today. More than just enabling students to start new enterprises and organizations, En2Em sees the need to equip all those in our generation with the skills of leadership, creativity, and empathy for others so that they may become positive change agents in their communities and workplace." The Neuroscience Club at Georgia Tech (GTNeuro) "The purpose of the Neuroscience Club at Georgia Tech is to promote: 1) Education to promote general education about the implications of neuroscience research; to encourage the creation of a neurobiotechnology minor at Georgia Tech; 2) Research to encourage undergraduate research in neuroscience (at Georgia Tech, Emory, and Georgia State); 3) Networking to host events and guest speakers that enable a forum of exchange among neuroscientists in the Georgia Tech community; 4) Advocacy to support undergraduate and graduate students in their career goals pertaining to neuroscience and/or medical school; 5) Outreach to volunteer in areas throughout the Atlanta community (e.g. the Shepherd Center, the Marcus Autism Center, and the American Parkinson's Disease Association) interrelated to medicine and neuroscience; to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and application; 6) Inquiry to host discussions that address novel issues relating to philosophy, ethics, and brain science; to foster a spirit of liberal thinking; 7) Professional Development to collaborate with other universities (Emory, Georgia State) and expand opportunities pertaining to neuroscience to Georgia Tech undergraduate and graduate students." Georgia Tech's Business School "The College of Management at the Georgia Institute of Technology combines excellence in the functional areas of business education with the multidisciplinary focus on management of technology, international business, and entrepreneurial and innovative processes. We pursue the creation of new knowledge and the training of scholars to further the science and practice of management. We are committed to being a recognized leader in developing business leaders to operate in changing technological environments." Flashpoint "Flashpoint is a startup accelerator program at Georgia Tech. Flashpoint offers entrepreneurial education and access to experienced mentors, experts, investors and stars in an exciting, immersive, sharedlearning, open workspace." External Collaborations Georgia Bio "Georgia s life sciences community is a rich mix of companies applying life sciences technologies to improving medicine and healthcare, agriculture, industrial and energy production, forestry, marine science and environmental management. There are more than 300 life sciences companies, most of them focused on healthcare applications, ranging from established to start up pharmaceutical biotechnology, medical device, diagnostic, medical supply and medical informatics companies; and contract laboratory, preclinical and clinical research organizations. The state s life sciences industry is anchored by world class public and private research institutions and universities, such as Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Georgia, Medical College of Georgia, Georgia State University, and Morehouse School of Medicine. These universities, and 12 P age
13 associated institutes such as the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, are global leaders in advanced life sciences and nano biotechnology research. " Goizueta Business School at Emory University "Emory University s Goizueta Business School, founded in 1919, provides a world class business education that combines functional specialization with a broad business perspective to create principle based leaders enabled by ties to Emory University, a top 20 institution; accessible, world class faculty scholars; an intimate and small by design learning experience; a passionate and engaged Goizueta network; stimulating experiential learning opportunities; and global perspective and understanding." Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University "the J. Mack Robinson College of Business is committed to excellence in the creation and dissemination of knowledge in business. We prepare students to lead by pursuing ethical, innovative and value enhancing strategies in a culturally diverse and technologically advanced world. We serve our community through complementary research, teaching and outreach activities, leveraging our proximity to multinational corporations, entrepreneurial enterprises, government agencies and not for profit organizations." 13 P age

15 A Glimpse into the Schedule for the Fall (An Overview) MDE Speaker Series - we will invite guest speakers monthly to speak on topics relating to medical device entrepreneurship. We attempt to get speakers from a variety of medical fields including: neuroengineering, cardiac tissue engineering, biomechanics, clinical research, and others. The speakers will be announced the beginning of the Fall 2012 semester. Business Strategy Workshops - in this series of workshops, we will be teaching the fundamentals of medical device entrepreneurship (e.g. business plan workshop, regulatory affairs workshop, networking workshop, marketing workshop, etc.). Workshops will be chosen based upon feedback from the Association. Design Workshops - design workshops are intended to allow for students to gain hands-on exposure to medical device design principles (e.g. SolidWorks workshop, metal technology workshop, wood technology workshop, fastening workshop, electrical device design workshop, etc.). The idea is to 'teach' students the fundamental skills necessary to produce meaningful medical devices. Networking Events - various events will be held throughout the year to allow for students to network with each other to form medical device startup companies. Hopefully these teams will results in high-impact inventions through competitions like the Inventure Prize Competition or senior design projects. MDE Ethics and Philosophy Seminar Series - these seminars will introduce emerging issues in medical device design (i.e. DNA information security, Neural Interfacing and information security, Medical Device Regulation/FDA, Radiation/Carcinogens and the Human Body in Imaging Modalities, etc.). Through these seminars, we hope to instill some design values in emerging medical device entrepreneurs. 15 P age
