At times in medical school, it’s easy to get lost in the science and memorization and forget the bigger picture of why you want to be a doctor. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s InFocus weeks come between the major system blocks and are designed to be a break from the studying and an opportunity to think about important aspects of medicine that are not in a traditional medical school curriculum.
Last month, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai extended SINAInnovations by adding a prequel to the two-day conference: SINAIMedMaker Challenge. SINAIMedMaker Challenge is a health care technology competition to create innovative solutions to treat patient pain and fatigue. Participants were encouraged to implement the Salesforce Health Cloud in their inventions to intelligently collaborate across teams and engage with and monitor patient improvements in real-time.
