2021 
To develop the next generation of healthcare innovators, students at all levels of education should be trained and encouraged to employ innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to deal with complicated challenges of today's health system. Applying innovation and entrepreneurship training to solve complex problems and focus on solution design has recently become common in medical universities all over the world. This paper clarifies the role of hackathons as an innovative educational approach in healthcare education systems. We propose a process model concerned with organizing hackathon events in the healthcare education system. This model can be used in the academic and practical design of hackathons for innovation purposes.
