Australian Clinical Entrepreneur Program (AUSCEP)
Helping people improve their health. Most people become clinicians to make a difference in the world.
Sometimes, there are predictable barriers that need to be overcome which often require non-clinical skills that aren't taught in training, such as entrepreneurialism, design thinking and communication.
Based on the highly successful UK NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme, The Australian Clinical Entrepreneur Program aims to up-skill clinicians and accelerate innovation by developing the entrepreneurial and innovation mindset of Australia's healthcare professionals to create positive change for the Australian healthcare system.
