Sling Health at UCLA

Sling Health was founded in 2013 at Washington University in St. Louis, bringing together students, faculty, staff, and local entrepreneurs to tackle unmet needs in healthcare delivery and clinical medicine. There is a need for innovation teaching and interdisciplinary solutions in healthcare, particularly in LA and specifically for medical students. To this end, we are starting a chapter of Sling Health to satisfy these needs, and to connect interested groups in the greater LA area. In order to better accomplish these goals, the UCLA incubator merged with Sling Health. General Objectives: Connect interested students with real clinical problems and relevant mentors. Provide a yearlong curriculum for medical, law, and engineering students interested in healthcare innovation. Provide a network for healthcare innovation in the greater LA area.
