GRRIT UAlberta Business Strategy Internship

The GRRIT (Glenrose Rehabilitation Research, Innovation and Technology) hub within Alberta Health Services is collaborating with the University of Alberta to support the development of innovative products to benefit people living with physical or cognitive disabilities. We also have working relationships with industry, entrepreneurs, clinical staff, patients, and families who have expertise in engineering, design, business development and marketing. The overarching goal is to improve outcomes of patients by using engineering skills to bring promising devices and ideas into use within the health system. This proposal will provide unique work experiences to undergraduate engineering students beyond the technical engineering mentorships through academic advisors to entrepreneurship, role of intellectual property and its protection, interactions with healthcare and healthcare professionals, and taking a product from the idea stage to intended use through the organization advisors.
