What hiring managers say
What hiring managers say
“We'll be mostly hiring BiteLabs Healthtech alumni soon!”
Dafydd Loughran
Co-founder and CEO, Concentric Health
The Problem
Healthcare is splitting in two.
Clinicians who understand technology are earning 2–5x more. Those who don't are watching their income stagnate while AI reshapes every specialty.

The Skills Gap
Medical school teaches medicine, not always product management, AI or business strategy. Industry pathways often call for fluency in all three.
Career Transition Roadmap
The fellowship teaches you product management, AI strategy, and business fundamentals — bridging the gap between clinical expertise and the skills healthtech employers demand.

The Portfolio Gap
Employers don’t hire based on CVs anymore. They want to see what you’ve built. Without a capstone project, you’re invisible to hiring managers.
Capstone Portfolio Project
You’ll design and build a real digital health product during the fellowship — giving you a polished portfolio piece that proves you can ship, not just theorise.

The Network Gap
Clinical networks don’t overlap with healthtech hiring networks. You need warm introductions to decision-makers, not cold applications.
Industry Network Access
Meet healthtech professionals, founders and the BiteLabs clinician community. Build relevant relationships alongside your skills and portfolio; roles and introductions depend on fit and availability.
