Last Days to Apply for MIEHT: Applications Close April 30

There is still time to apply for the Medical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Honors Track (MIEHT), but the deadline is quickly approaching. Applications for the next MIEHT cohort will close on April 30. Hosted by BioVentures at UAMS, MIEHT is a four-year honors track designed for medical students who want to build the skills to identify unmet clinical needs, develop practical healthcare solutions, and explore the path from innovation to implementation. The program gives students hands-on exposure to clinical problem-solving, customer discovery, early-stage innovation, and healthcare entrepreneurship. Through MIEHT, participants learn how to move beyond identifying problems in medicine to actively designing solutions that improve care delivery, clinical workflows, and patient outcomes. Students in the program gain access to mentorship, innovation frameworks, commercialization guidance, and a growing community of clinician-innovators working to improve healthcare from within. MIEHT is designed for students interested in innovation, translational problem-solving, and the future of healthcare, whether their interests lie in devices, systems, workflows, or new models of care. If you are interested in becoming part of the next cohort, now is the time to apply. Applications close April 30. Click here to Apply Now

BioVentures Supports UAMS M1 Students in PCAR Summer Program

BioVentures supported University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) first-year medical students this summer through the Partnership in Cancer Research (PCAR) program. Over eight weeks, participants worked in multidisciplinary teams to address real-world challenges in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship. The program culminated in entrepreneurial pitch presentations to a panel of judges. Three BioVentures team members served as mentors, advising students on refining problem statements, assessing market opportunities, and developing business models. Another team member participated as a judge, providing feedback from a commercialization perspective. The collaboration aimed to foster entrepreneurial thinking, highlight the role of innovation in cancer care, and encourage future clinician-innovators at UAMS. This initiative reflects BioVentures’ ongoing commitment to advancing healthcare entrepreneurship and translating research into real-world impact.
