The Problem We Solve
Most clinicians do not lack talent.
They lack direction.
Across Africa, many healthcare professionals are drawn to digital health, AI, product, research, and health data. What slows them down is not intelligence or motivation. It is the absence of a clear, structured path from curiosity to positioning to execution.
Most programs teach concepts. Few help participants decide where they fit, what they should build, and how to move with focus.
The result is scattered effort: courses without direction, interest without positioning, and ambition without a concrete plan.
This accelerator is built to solve that exact gap. In 8 weeks, participants move from “I want to do something in digital health” to a specific career direction, a credible portfolio, and a 2–3 year execution roadmap.
The real bottleneck for African digital health talent is structured career direction — not skill, not motivation.
Program philosophy
Who This Is For
Built for healthcare professionals
ready to move.
This is for people serious about entering digital health deliberately — not passively consuming information and hoping clarity appears later.
Final-Year Students
Medical and health students who want to understand digital health opportunities before graduation and begin building direction early.
Professionals Exploring Transition
Those exploring healthtech startups, product, informatics, policy, research, or global health roles and want help choosing a lane they can actually grow in.
What You Will Build
Eight weeks. Eight artifacts.
One complete portfolio.
Each week ends with a real output. By the end of the program, Fellows hold a portfolio they can use for applications, positioning, conversations, and long-term career execution.

Why this pricing works
The fee is intentionally set to remain accessible to healthcare professionals across Africa while still protecting commitment. The quality of the cohort depends on people who are ready to work, not just observe.
Because the program is structured, facilitated, and feedback-driven, a small cohort is non-negotiable. That is what preserves the value of peer interaction, office hours, and mentorship.
Cohort 2 starts 14 May 2026
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Early applications are encouraged, but seats are allocated by fit, readiness, and commitment.
