First Minute: Problem Statement – Clearly define the healthcare problem you're currently addressing.

Second Minute: Your Solution – Describe your innovative solution and its impact.

Final Minute: The 'Why' – Share why you're passionate about this solution and its potential impact on the healthcare community.

Feedback:

Listeners will be given a feedback card to quickly jot down their impressions on the clarity, impact, and viability of the pitch.

Rotation:

After each pitch, attendees rotate to the next partner. This continues until everyone has had a chance to pitch and listen.

Evaluation:

Attendees will submit their top three pitches at the end of the morning. The pitches with the most votes will move to a final round.

Final Round:

Top pitches are presented in front of all attendees for a 5-minute extended pitch and Q&A session.
