Medventions: Winter 2025

Medventions is a full-time 14 week paid program that allows students and new graduates to take part in physician-led,
hospital-based fellowship training. Fellows come from different areas of study and will get hands on experience in a
clinical setting with innovators and experienced mentors. It equips fellows to identify priority healthcare needs and
develop their own prototypes to help solve pressing issues in our healthcare system. At the end of the program, the
interns will present their final innovation at the Innovation Showcase, which will celebrate the interns and the work
they have done over the past four months. Here, they will present their prototype and business model, and field any
questions from an audience comprised of those engrained in the health innovation ecosystem in Nova Scotia.
This cohort will be comprised of 4 fellows and our academic supervisor for this cohort is Clifton Johnston from
Dalhousie University.
