30 selected students from universities in California will engage with Ashoka at Stanford Medicine X | CHANGE on experiential workshops and challenges designed for enhancing changemaker skills, social entrepreneurship and ideas for community health innovation.

During the 2 day engagement, selected finalists will be paired in smaller teams to innovate and launch venture ideas at this year’s Medicine X. Each team will pitch their creative solutions for their health ventures to a panel of health experts at Stanford Medicine X and get valuable feedback. The winning student team will receive project mentorship and main stage time at this year’s Medicine X | CHANGE. All selected finalists from this application will be a part of the global Ashoka Youth Venture network and connected to more changemaker opportunities.  See photos from previous years’ MMH program at #MedX!
