Vattikuti Explorers

The Vattikuti Explorers is a signature initiative of the Vattikuti Foundation designed to identify, mentor, and support medical students with a passion for innovation, global collaboration, and leadership in medicine. The program connects aspiring physician-innovators with immersive educational experiences, international exposure, and mentorship that extends well beyond the classroom.

Vattikuti Foundation incorporates real-life experiential learning opportunities both for clinicians and medical students. The Vattikuti Innovators Challenge is a global competition for medical students to excite traits of innovation in the context of real-life examples, imagining future in the backdrop of historical basis and current available information.

The submissions will describe the potential transformation of a problem, the context of why it happens, and the imagined solutions.
