I am an MUSC Innovator

This is the lightbulb representing the I am an MUSC Innovator Award

The “I am an MUSC Innovator” campaign is designed to raise awareness of the many forms that innovation can take, to inspire others and to publicly recognize individuals and teams that are making an impact. 

Each quarter, the campaign showcases innovative educators, researchers, care team members, and service team members that have been nominated for their innovation impact.

Nomination Process

Nominations are solicited by and submitted to the Chief Innovation Officer and evaluated based on the merits of the innovation, including potential impact, and unique factors which contributed to the innovation. Nominations are solicited on a quarterly basis but may be submitted for consideration at any time.

Fill out and submit a nomination.
