Short description A practical online course that blends Stoic philosophy with design thinking, resilience, and business skills for healthcare innovators, creatives, and entrepreneurs across Africa and beyond.
Outcomes
  • Apply the Stoic Dichotomy of Control to reduce unproductive worry and improve decision-making in high-pressure healthcare settings.
  • Use Stoic journaling and negative-visualization exercises to lower reactivity and improve emotional regulation (self-reported improvement).
  • Translate cardinal Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Justice, Temperance) into design criteria for ethical health interventions.
  • Conduct at least one rapid, low-cost user-research sprint (interviews/prototype testing) in a constrained setting.
  • Develop a values-aligned value proposition and a Lean Canvas for a healthcare product or service.
  • Design an equity-focused implementation plan that accounts for community norms and system constraints.
  • Create and pilot a simple measurement plan for wellbeing or program impact (≤ 10 items).
  • Lead a small team or community workshop with Stoic-based facilitation scripts adapted to local languages and resources.
  • Deliver a Capstone Project: a Stoic-informed, feasible project plan (including risk pre-mortem and sustainability steps) ready for stakeholder review.
Requirements
  • Technical & access A laptop, tablet, or smartphone with internet access (low-bandwidth options and downloadable PDFs provided). Basic ability to use email, upload files, and join video calls (optional).
  • Prior knowledge / recommended experience Professional interest in healthcare, public health, design, entrepreneurship, or medical practice. No formal philosophy background required — course starts from basics. Recommended: prior exposure to basics of project design, clinical workflows, or community health is helpful but optional.
  • Materials Notebook or digital journaling app. Access to a small group (2–5 people) for at least one peer workshop (classmates, colleagues, or community members). Optional: prototype materials (paper, basic craft supplies, smartphone camera) for low-fi prototyping.
