Course partner, Dr. William Berquist of the Liver Transplant Clinic at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (center), discusses his clinic’s focus on teen patients transitioning to adult care. Many patients struggle through this process with limited support.

In Startup Garage, teams will work closely with users and partner organizations.

Students learn from and are supported by a wide range of partners, from the potential user of a specific service such as a consumer, to a potential provider of these services such as a community health center or a local financial institution.

If you’re interested in helping stimulate the design of innovative solutions to problems you face, there are many roles you can play:

Partner Organizations

Some teams will collaborate with partner organizations. These organizations host teams during the course by introducing them to a real design challenge that exists in their environment.

Partner organizations for Startup Garage coming here soon!!

Partnering with the faculty and students is one of the true high points of my 15 years at Stanford University School of Medicine…. For a rather small investment of my time and medical expertise, along with introductions to my willing patients, the groups of student social entrepreneurs in the classroom have employed the principals of human centered design to truly leave a profound mark on my specialty of Pediatric Urology.
