Clinical Summer Immersion for Biomedical Engineering PhD Students

描述(由申请者提供)：我们建议在康奈尔大学威尔医学院开设一个暑期临床沉浸项目，将伊萨卡工程学院校区的生物医学工程(BME)博士生从伊萨卡工程学院校区带到纽约市医学院校区，在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。每个学生都将参加生物伦理学讲座，跟踪临床医生，并在指定的临床医生导师的指导下参与临床相关研究。这个临床暑期沉浸课程旨在将BME与医疗保健和社会联系起来，并引导和提高学生对医学的研究兴趣。它将立即影响他们的博士论文研究，增加医学良知，并影响他们长期的职业生涯，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.
