Training Received
Under the guidance and mentorship of the Biolocity team, interns generate market assessment reports (both preliminary and higher detail as the evaluations progress) and draft project plans for funded proposals. At the start of the internship period, students will receive a half-day training on technology assessment. Every week thereafter, interns meet with their Biolocity adviser to discuss the technologies they are assessing. These weekly feedback sessions are an opportunity to share findings, ask questions, and better understand how factors such as regulatory, reimbursement, competition, and clinical adoption impact commercialization.
In this immersive experience, interns will learn to:
- Validate clinical unmet needs
- Identify and formulate technology value propositions
- Create interview guides and conduct primary market interviews
- Perform top-down and bottom-up market sizing
- Assess competitive landscapes
- Determine the strategic positioning of early-stage technologies
