Medical Device Design, Entrepreneurship, and Regulatory Affairs
Medical Device Design, Entrepreneurship, and Regulatory Affairs prepares students to turn ideas into viable medical products and companies. Working with clinical, industry, and regulatory experts at CU Anschutz, students identify unmet needs, develop solutions, refine business plans, and gain hands-on experience in bringing technologies to market. Students can further specialize through certificate programs in innovation and entrepreneurship, building skills in commercialization, regulatory strategy, and startup development. The program is embedded in a vibrant innovation ecosystem, offering mentorship and opportunities to engage with startups and established companies.
