Clinical Correlates in Biomedical Engineering

3 Units

Clinical correlations in biomedical engineering enable synthesis of basic engineering concepts around applications in medical practice. Students will draw upon prior training in biophysics, anatomic structure and function, and mathematical modeling of physiologic systems in a weekly case-based critical care scenario. Blending engineering and clinical concepts in this fashion will expand students' medical expertise. This course will feature weekly critical care cases designed to associate and translate engineering concepts into relevant medical knowledge. Course didactic components will be posted on Canvas. Students will be expected to read and prepare for discussion of each case in class. Successful students will conclude this course with enhanced systems thinking and insight on prior biomedical knowledge and innovation, as well as having demonstrated measurable improvement in their critical thinking skills in the field of medicine.
