  1. Training surgical innovators: Early experience with the Stanford Surgical Innovation Program Bilal M. Shafi General Surgery Resident, University of Pennsylvania Biodesign Surgical Innovation Fellow, Stanford University

  2. “The abdomen, the chest and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon” Sir John Eric Ericksen Surgeon-Extraordinaire to Queen Victoria, 1837

  3. The Problem • Technology is becoming more complex • Physician views are narrowing • Specialization • “Treadmill” mentality There is a “crisis” of physician / innovators There is an increasing gap between technology and clinician needs

  4. Stanford Biodesign - Mission To develop leaders in biomedical technology innovation Educate. Collaborate. Innovate.

  5. Innovation Innovation is a process and, as such, can be learned. “Innovation is not simply invention; it is inventiveness put to use.” Harold Evans

  6. Biodesign Surgical Innovation Program Clinicians Biodesign SIP Innovation Business People Next Generation of Innovators New Medical Devices Engineers

  7. Team 2005 - 2007 Jessica Connor, MS Mechanical Engineer Gary Binyamin, PhD Chemical Engineer Gabriel Sanchez, MS Mechanical Engineer Bilal Shafi, MD, MSE Surgical resident Biomedical Engineer Carlos Mery, MD, MPH Surgical resident Public Health
