Overview

The MBRU Design Lab is an evolving space where students are empowered to move around and create their own content for learning rather than just memorizing facts delivered from faculty. The Design Lab hosts lectures and events to pursue and encourage innovation, including health design bootcamps, healthcare innovation seminars and workshops, and undertakes both faculty and student research projects while building communities of practice. The Design Lab’ interests notably include: improving the patient experience, increasing medical outcomes, changing lifestyle behaviors, educating innovators, rethinking processes and ultimately connecting patients with physicians.
