Objectives: 1. Understand the mission the Magic Wand Initiative
2. Describe the accomplishments and the success that the Magic Wand Initiative has achieved
3. State the importance of clinician led innovation in healthcare
Introduction: To identify and solve unmet needs and bring new therapies to patients, clinicians at all levels must engage in innovation. The Magic Wand Initiative, a program based at Massachusetts General Hospital--Wellman Center for Photomedicine, created a 10-month course called the Virtual Magic Wand (VMW) program with a curriculum that teaches the biomedical innovation pathway to dermatologists and engages them in innovation.
Conclusion: We have initiated the European VMW program to engage, educate and empower European dermatologists to innovate. VMW program encourages innovation by creating a network of like-minded individuals, teaching the innovation process, and empowering physicians to think of themselves as innovators.
