PROJECT SUMMARY We aim to build a summer immersion program with broad curricular impact for Biomedical Engineering (BME). The immersion program will match undergraduate BME students with third year medical students. These “Clinical Scholars” will act as observers during the medical students' summer clinical clerkships. Importantly, the Clinical Scholars join an established learning community of medical students in “colleges” who progress through their studies as a cohort, and who will serve as their mentors. The Clinical Scholars will gain a personal vantage on the problems encountered daily by clinicians, and will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in multiple clinical fields. A holistic yet targeted admissions process will help ensure the diversity of the Clinical Scholar cohorts. Two sets of written deliverables will be expected of every Clinical Scholar from each clinical clerkship in which they are immersed. The first deliverables are statements of clinical problems or unmet clinical needs, with appropriate user needs and constraints. These Clinical Needs Reports, numbering about ten per year, will be used in new and existing BME design-build courses, broadening the impact of the immersion experience to a much larger number of students. The second of the deliverables are instructional case studies, targeted to BME core or elective courses. These case studies will be used by our degree program faculty for the instruction of the entire BME student body. The case studies will be vetted by program faculty, and will be made publically available after one semester of in-class use and iterative redesign. The medical student mentors will have the option of joining students in the design processes, and both Scholar and mentor will have the option of presenting the case studies in classes where they are used. Every aspect of the program will be subject to longitudinal quantitative assessment, and will add to the knowledgebase of both undergraduate engineering education, and also undergraduate medical education.

项目总结 我们的目标是为生物医学工程建立一个具有广泛课程影响的暑期沉浸计划 (BME)。浸入式计划将为BME本科生和三年级医学生牵线搭桥。 这些“临床学者”将在医科学生暑期临床见习期间担任观察员。 重要的是，临床学者们加入了一个建立起来的医学生学习社区，这些学生在大学里 作为一个群体，他们的学习取得了进步，谁将成为他们的导师。临床学者将获益 亲自了解临床医生日常遇到的问题，并将有机会沉浸其中 在多个临床领域。全面而有针对性的招生程序将有助于确保 临床学者队列。两套书面成果将期望每位临床学者从 他们所从事的每一项临床助理工作。第一批交付成果是临床问题的陈述或 未满足的临床需求，具有适当的用户需求和限制。这些临床需求报告，编号 每年约有10个，将用于新的和现有的BME设计-建造课程，扩大 为更多的学生提供沉浸体验。第二个可交付成果是指导性的 案例研究，针对BME核心课程或选修课。这些案例研究将被我们的学位使用 为整个BME学生团体提供指导的计划教员。案例研究将按计划进行审查 在经过一学期的课堂使用和迭代重新设计后，将向公众开放。这个 医科学生导师将有权选择加入学生的设计过程，学者和 Mentor将可以选择在使用案例研究的课堂上展示案例研究。世界的方方面面 该计划将接受纵向量化评估，并将增加这两个项目的知识库 工科本科教育，医学本科教育。
