The Need for Health Care Innovation Training in Medical Education.
Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Unlabelled: The rapid transformation of the health care landscape requires physicians to not only be skilled clinically but also navigate and lead a highly dynamic, innovation-driven environment. This also provides an avenue for physicians to significantly enhance their ability to help their patients, through participation in health innovation projects. Despite this growing need and opportunity, few medical schools provide formal training in innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E). In this perspective, we examine the need for I&E education in medical curricula by exploring student interest, effective program models, and implementation strategies. To better understand medical student interest in innovation and willingness to participate in I&E programs during medical school, we surveyed 480 medical students at our institution, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and received 90 responses with a 19% response rate. We observed a strong interest in health care I&E, with 97% (87/90) of respondents valuing knowledge or experience in I&E and 63% (56/90) expressing intent to incorporate I&E into their careers. To assess the real-world impact of I&E education on medical professionals, we surveyed 12 alumni of the Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) Master's program who had also completed medical school. Graduates reported that their experiences cultivated transferable skills-design thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leadership-that shaped their professional trajectories. We propose three models for incorporating I&E education into existing medical curricula-short-term workshops, one-year gap programs, and longitudinal tracks-and discuss their advantages and trade-offs. Early and structured exposure to I&E education in medical school empowers students to identify unmet clinical needs, collaborate across disciplines, and develop real-world solutions. As the pace of innovation continues to accelerate, integration of I&E education into medical curricula offers a timely opportunity for medical schools to cultivate physician leaders in this space.
