From Innovation to Intrapreneurship: Fostering academic success via the GridlockED project and innovation fund.

Background: Funding for educational innovations is increasingly scarce in academic medicine. While there is some funding for medical education research, this is often for discovery or application work, and there are few avenues for those with a heavy innovation focus to fund early work.

Objective Of The Innovation: The objective was to develop an intrapreneurial unit focused on medical education projects and scholarship.

Stethopedia: an e-learning resource for medical students to supplement Canadian clinical skills education.

There are currently few open access clinical skills video resources available for Canadian medical students. Stethopedia is an easy-to-use, open-access library of clinical skills teaching videos based on the Canadian medical curriculum.
