iPREP WA
​
Established in 2014, iPREP WA is Australia’s first collaborative, university-led PhD placement program.
​
The program involves multidisciplinary teams, working on a seven-week project for an industry partner during their thesis examination period. Industry partners range from start-up's through to large corporations and government departments. iPREP WA provides a platform for organizations to engage in low-risk research activities and helps PhD graduates to recognize that skills they develop in the PhD, such as problem-solving and analytical skills, are applicable across a range of disciplines, providing them with the confidence and experience to apply for jobs outside of academia.
Perth Biodesign
​
Perth Biodesign provides educational training in healthcare innovation using the Stanford Biodesign methodology. This methodology focuses on a prescriptive method of identifying unmet clinical needs, inventing solutions and creating implementation strategies that fit within the context of the complex healthcare landscape. Perth Biodesign runs a variety of different courses which involve multidisciplinary teams creating innovative solutions and building connections between industry, academia and health services.
