Clinical Summer Immersion for Biomedical Engineering PhD Students

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在康奈尔大学威尔医学院提出了一个夏季临床浸入式项目，将伊萨卡工程学院校园的生物医学工程（BME）博士生带到纽约市医学院校园，在他们研究生培训的第一年和第二年之间的夏季进行专门的密集临床暴露。每位学生将在指定的临床医生导师的指导下学习生物伦理学课程，影子临床医生并参与临床相关研究。这个临床暑期沉浸旨在将BME与医疗保健和社会联系起来，并引导和增强学生对医学的研究兴趣。这将立即影响他们的博士论文研究，增加医学良知，并影响他们的长期职业生涯，以改善医疗保健。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a summer clinical immersion program at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University that brings Biomedical Engineering (BME) PhD students from Ithaca Engineering College Campus to New York City Medical College Campus for dedicated intensive clinical exposure in the summer between their first and second year of graduate training. Each student will take bioethics lectures, shadow clinical practitioners and participate in clinical related research under the direction of an assigned clinician mentor. This clinical summer immersion is designed to connect BME to healthcare and society and to steer and enhance students' research interests towards medicine. It will immediately impact their PhD thesis research by adding a medical conscience and influence their long term career towards improving healthcare.
