The Diversity Innovation Hub Summer Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) provides students with an immersive experience in health innovation, technology, and venture development.
During the summer, selected fellows gain hands-on experience in startup development, venture capital, and community health innovation by working with one of our partner organizations. For medical students, this fellowship also fulfills the MSRO research requirement, offering a valuable opportunity to explore entrepreneurship, healthcare investment, and emerging technologies early in their careers. No prior experience in technology, business development, or venture capital is required—just a passion for healthcare innovation.
With rapid advancements in technology and innovation, the healthcare landscape is evolving, and medical education must evolve alongside it. This fellowship serves as a bridge between traditional medical training and the innovation ecosystem, equipping students with the skills needed to excel in health technology, investing, and product design.
Eligible applicants must be full-time students at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) with backgrounds in:
- Medicine, biosciences, engineering, computer science, product design, law, or business
- Fellows are selected based on passion, drive, and interest in health innovation
Preference may be given to students with a strong commitment to advancing healthcare innovation.
