06 — Questions
Questions about membership.
Who can join?
Medical students, residents, and practising or retired physicians interested in innovation and entrepreneurship. Others working in health innovation are welcome to join our events and newsletter.
How much does membership cost?
Nothing. Membership is free.
I'm a researcher. Is this the right network for me?
Physician Innovator focuses on implementing technology-enabled change, rather than on research leadership. If you're working to turn research into a product, service or company, you'll fit right in.
Do I need a startup or an idea to join?
No. Many members are curious about innovation and want to learn, meet people or advise others. Members include founders, executives, advisors, mentors and board members.
How do I get involved beyond membership?
We're always looking for volunteers, from medical school ambassadors to writers and event organizers. See Careers and volunteering.
