Abstract
Fewer than 30% of all medical schools have programs that encourage medical design innovation or entrepreneurship at the trainee level. This is particularly evident in the fields of anesthesiology and pain medicine, where utilizing medical devices constitutes a significant part of a clinician's daily practice. To fix this gap, our institution has developed an incubator club where trainees can learn about medical devices and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to present how this can be incorporated at other institutions because these clubs are a low resource utilization investment that can teach trainees valuable skills in innovation and entrepreneurship.
