Today, healthcare is mired in problems that need solving. Healthcare doesn\u2019t need more cookie cutter doctors to perpetuate a broken machine; it needs tinkerers with fresh and bold ideas to rebuild the machine to make it work better for patients and providers. That\u2019s where Design for Health<\/b> comes in.<\/p>\n
Design for Health, was founded at Geisel with the purpose of fostering the next generation of physician-innovators, working at the frontlines to improve healthcare. Design for Health empowers students to tackle healthcare problems by providing a homebase for teaching and practicing innovation methods<\/b>, hosting speakers<\/b>, sponsoring hackathons<\/b>, and connecting students with researchers, providers and patients to implement solutions<\/b> to real healthcare problems in our hospitals and communities. We collaborate<\/b> with other design-minded organizations at Dartmouth like the Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering, DALI Lab, the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship (formerly DEN), and The Dartmouth Institute.<\/p>\n
Design for Health is new to Geisel but full of energy and inspiration. We\u2019re excited to grow and gain momentum as the months go by.<\/p>\n
