Online and Live Online Modules | 26 Weeks
The program’s immersive 26-week learning journey will equip you with the technical expertise and leadership acumen required to navigate the rapidly evolving medtech sector. The curriculum will help you navigate the end-to-end process of taking a product from idea to fruition and see it reach the people who need it. The topics encompass four critical pillars — strategic leadership, C-suite perspectives, medical device development, and AI and acceleration strategies — which will help you become a well-rounded medtech leader.
Note: The program duration of 26 weeks excludes 2 weeks of orientation and break weeks between modules. Also, the list of topics and the live session schedule are subject to change.
Networking Event | In Person | 2 Days
Upon completion of your learning journey, you can take part in an optional, two-day in-person networking and recognition event on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. You will engage in faculty-led discussions and have the opportunity to interact and network with global peers across multiple cohorts.
Note: A registration fee of US$250 is applicable. The event will not necessarily be held immediately after program module completion. #The images shown here are from other MIT xPRO programs' networking events and are representative only.
Capstone Project
The capstone project presents an opportunity for you to synthesize program insights and apply them directly to real-world organizational challenges. You will choose a clinical problem area either in your own organization or one that you are familiar with and propose potential solutions. Through a systematic approach, you will develop a design and development plan, keeping in mind key metrics — including market size — IP and regulatory considerations, and reimbursement strategies.
