Master's, Biomedical Innovation and Development Program (MS MBID)
Unlike other Biomedical Engineering programs, this unique professional master’s program is not a research program. Your course of study will combine biomedical engineering, hands-on product design, development, and commercialization.
Working with practicing healthcare and biomedical professionals, you and your team will be challenged to create new solutions addressing unmet clinical needs in diagnosis, treatment, surgery, hospital care, patient rehabilitation, or home healthcare environments.
