Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship Undergraduate Badge Program

The Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship Undergraduate Badge Program offers a combination of learning inside and outside the classroom that gives students experience in the healthcare and life sciences industry.

Students are required to (1) complete two courses from the list of track-approved courses, (2) choose four co-curricular activities to attend, and (3) attend and volunteer at least one KMH Center event. All of these requirements require a brief reflection piece that will be submitted via Canvas.
