Prototype UofT

Prototype serves to engage students in learning about human-centered design principles and their application to healthcare issues. Our formal year-long team projects, led by physician mentors, allow students to tackle a design project and create iterative solutions to real life problems. Our informal events engage students in a more non-committal fashion to share professional networks with students of leaders in the design, innovation, and entrepreneurship fields. We approach our teaching and learning systems through the principles of independence, mentor support, and facilitating professional networking.
