The MedStartr Physician Innovator's Challenge is open to any company with a physician or advanced practice clinician founder or co-founder. Top teams are invited to the JPM stage at HealthTech Summit 2027, January 14–16, 2027, in San Francisco. It is part of the 2027 Accelerator Challenge.

We accidentally built the AMA's Physician Innovation Network: a contest we ran for the AMA on a white-label version of MedStartr drew 396 company applications and 5,916 doctors, and was soon renamed the Physician Innovation Network.
