About this Event

On April 13th, join student innovators, health care professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and University of Utah leadership at the Ken Garff University Club at the Rice Eccles Stadium for the 15th annual Bench to Bedside Competition Night!


Over the 2025-2026 school year, college students from the University of Utah, across the states, and internationally have come together in multi-disciplinary teams to develop new, innovative solutions to problems facing today's health care professionals.

Student teams will showcase their projects in a gala-style event, meeting with competition judges, industry professionals, mentors, investors, University leadership, community members, family, and friends. After an evening of networking and celebration, an awards ceremony will announce the winners of the competition and send the winning teams home with nearly $100,000 in milestone funding.

Since its inception in 2010, the Bench to Bedside Program has launched hundreds of next-generation medical devices, awarded over $1.4M in milestone funding to winning teams, and given over 1500 students from across Utah first-hand experience with healthcare innovation.


The Bench to Bedside program is presented and managed by the Center for Medical Innovation at University of Utah Health. To learn more, visit
