Medical Industry Valuation Lab

A Valuable Hands-on Experience

The valuation process involves multiple stages, from assumptions to validations, verifications, challenges, and proposed solutions. This dynamic experience helps students develop a more robust understanding of how to evaluate new technology or service from a global perspective, and help prepare them for leadership roles in an ever-evolving medical industry.

At the end of the 10-day program and intense intellectual inquiry, students prepare client presentations and recommendations for faculty and inventor critique.

The Medical Industry Valuation Lab also provides industry innovators with a top-to-bottom analysis of their medical innovation and its prospects in the market.

In addition, the Medical Industry Valuation Lab is a cross-cultural experience in which students can hone the intercultural skills they have been developing throughout the course of this global program.
