The MCHRI annually sponsors Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign Faculty Fellowships to spur innovations in maternal child health and offer faculty the opportunity to apply their knowledge to advance care delivered through Stanford Children’s Health. Over a 6-month period, participants learn about the process of identifying innovation opportunities, inventing cost-effective solutions, and preparing to implement those inventions to improve patient care. In this MCHRI seminar, learn about education and training opportunities from the Center for Biodesign and the 2017-2018 MCHRI Biodesign Faculty Fellows who will present rapid pitches of their projects that address health challenges and needs.
