The first-ever InnoFest team
In late 2024, we opened applications for AMSA’s first-ever Digital Health Innovation Festival. We were blown away by the responses and are proud to showcase the pioneers —the judges, student teams and partners — that piloted this with us in early 2025. Contact us if you’d like to learn more.
