Society of Physician Entrepreneurs
Maxine
Pierson, Executive Director of Strategic Business Institute (SBI) announced
today the formation of a Palm Beach County Chapter of the Society of Physician
Entrepreneurs (SOPE).
The Society of Physician Entrepreneurs (www.sopenet.org) is a not-for-profit 501(c)6 global biomedical and
healthcare innovation network of healthcare professionals who have an idea or
desire to improve the delivery of medical services or who wish to make a
contribution to the medical/patient community.
SoPE provides a platform for members to
accelerate and catalyze innovation, with a separate supporting 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt Foundation for scholarship and philanthropic endeavors to advance
healthcare.
“Our vision, mission and activities are ultimately about championing healthcare
innovation from the inside out - better treatments, improved access, at lower
costs”, said Ms. Pierson. SoPE
supports healthcare professionals and individuals from all backgrounds to
achieve their entrepreneurial goals. Making a better world through improved
healthcare starts with a good idea - it's our goal to facilitate the transformation
of good ideas into great innovations for our growing healthcare community.
We use the term "Physician" loosely to include every medical
professional; acupuncturist, audiologists, biomedical engineers, chiropractors,
dentists, dietician, medical laboratory technicians, occupational therapist,
oncologist, pharmacist, phlebotomist, physicians, physician assistants,
physical therapists, psychiatrist, radiologist, researchers, respiratory
therapist etc., said Dr. Scuderi.
The mission of SoPE is to help biomedical and healthcare entrepreneurs get
their ideas, discoveries and inventions to market by providing them with
education, connections to service providers and investors.
Quarterly meetings will feature speakers on the cutting edge
of the medical profession presenting their latest findings and developments to
the medical community. “What’s coming,
What’s here and What needs to be changed.
How to bring your idea or invention to the medical community and get it
funded and accepted by other medical professionals to make our healthcare
system the best it can possibly be”, said Dr. Scuderi.
The Chapter is indeed
honored to have as its first President the distinguished Orthopedic Surgeon and entrepreneur,
Jackson Memorial trained, Dr. Gaetano Scuderi.
Dr. Scuderi is the Founder of the Jupiter based Cytonics Corporation. The Cytonics Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on developing
therapeutics for musculoskeletal diseases.
