AIM Connect

AIM Connect is open to students from all disciplines who have a genuine interest in HealthTech and healthcare innovation. Whether you're studying medicine, engineering, business, or any other field, we welcome your unique perspective.

No prior experience is necessary! The program is designed to accommodate students at various skill levels, offering foundational knowledge and building up to more advanced concepts in HealthTech.

Absolutely! Upon completing the program, you'll receive a certificate to acknowledge your participation and achievements. The program culminates in a makeathon exclusive to your cohort, allowing you to apply your newly acquired skills in a practical, collaborative setting.

Participants should plan for 6-8 hours of engagement each week, including attending workshops, lectures, and working on group projects. We aim to balance the program workload with students' academic commitments.

AIM Connect is offered once per semester, providing two opportunities to join each academic year.

Our application portal opens once per semester. Applicants are required to submit their CV and answer a few short questions. We then review all applications and invite selected candidates for a virtual interview, held during the semester break. All candidates receive feedback no later than two weeks before the Kick-Off Weekend.

Absolutely, international students are welcome to apply! We value the diverse perspectives that students from different countries and cultures bring to our community.

Approximately 20-22 people can participate each semester. Secure your spot now by registering immediately!

OneAIM is a student initiative dedicated to exploring the interdisciplinary field at the intersection of medicine and technology. It was founded by bringing together students from various backgrounds, building on the legacy of LMU AIM, its predecessor initiative. Through its programs and events, OneAIM fosters cross-disciplinary networking and skill development for students passionate about healthcare innovation. AIM Connect is OneAIM's flagship program: an immersive 10-week experience designed for students who want to engage deeply with the HealthTech ecosystem through visits, collaborations, and hands-on challenges.

English is the primary language of instruction and communication throughout the program. A good level of English proficiency is expected, as it is essential for engaging with our visits and activities. We conduct everything in English to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all participants.

AIM Connect offers direct access to professionals across the HealthTech ecosystem in your city, from clinicians and researchers to startup founders and corporate leaders. Through our visits and program events, participants build meaningful connections with industry stakeholders and become part of a growing alumni network.

Project topics are defined by the group itself, allowing participants to choose based on their interests, expertise, and goals. This encourages collaboration and ensures the project is meaningful to everyone involved.

Alumni are encouraged to stay involved by mentoring future cohorts, participating in networking events, and contributing to the broader OneAIM community. Their experience and insights play an important role in shaping the program and supporting the next generation of HealthTech enthusiasts.

A makeathon (a combination of "make" and "marathon") is an intensive, collaborative event where teams come together to brainstorm, design, and build functional prototypes within a limited timeframe. Unlike hackathons, which focus primarily on software, makeathons emphasize creating tangible solutions to real-world problems.

Beyond networking and knowledge transfer, AIM Connect aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote diversity in STEM and healthcare by encouraging participation from underrepresented groups. The program empowers participants to tackle complex healthcare challenges through creative problem-solving and a culture of continuous learning, all within a supportive and inclusive community.

The team behind OneAIM is a diverse and dynamic group, embodying a rich variety of backgrounds, disciplines, and perspectives. It is composed of members from across the fields of medicine, engineering, business, and technology, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare innovation.

The team is strongly committed to female empowerment, with significant representation of women in leadership and mentorship roles.
