About Us

Who Are We?

Beyond the Lab is a student-led club that empowers students to tackle real-world healthcare challenges through case competitions, workshops, and interdisciplinary collaboration. We bring together students from science, medicine, and, business to explore the intersection of innovation, problem-solving, and impact.

While case competitions are common in business and engineering, students in health and science fields often lack similar opportunities. Our club fills that gap by offering hands-on experiences where members develop solutions to real healthcare problems and present their ideas to experts from academia and industry

We don’t just focus on competitions—we host workshops, speaker events, and collaborative sessions that connect students with doctors, entrepreneurs, and professionals who provide mentorship and real-world insights. These experiences help students build critical skills in leadership, communication, and innovation.

Our mission is to create a space where diverse perspectives come together to inspire creativity, drive practical solutions, and build a stronger link between science and society. Whether you're passionate about healthcare, research, entrepreneurship, or strategy, Beyond the Lab gives you the chance to apply your skills and learn from others.

With support from the Faculty of Science, Cumming School of Medicine, and Haskayne School of Business, we’re building a cross-campus community of changemakers ready to shape the future of health innovation.

Join us—and go beyond the lab.
