Fast Forward Medical Innovation
We teach program planners to offer FFMI fastPACE at their home institutions.
Fast Forward Medical Innovation works in close partnership with U-M’s CTSA organization, the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR), to support educational programs for all learners on the commercialization of biomedical research and innovation.
Train-the-Trainer is held in parallel to the FFMI fastPACE program, a project-based, experiential course designed to help academics launch new innovations, including medical devices/diagnostics, digital solutions, drugs, educational/training interventions, research tools, and many others.
Participating CTSA organizations have the opportunity to observe our expert teaching team and learn how to launch this program at their home institution, providing their biomedical faculty with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the initial process of innovation and commercialization.
Interested? Contact [email protected] if you would like to participate in the FFMI Train-the-Trainer program.
Fast Forward Medical Innovation offers a comprehensive collection of educational programs and training tailored for busy faculty, students, clinicians, and researchers across the University of Michigan, and across the state, region, and nation.
