Surgery, by its reliance on manual skills, lends itself to technological innovation that can resulting in staggering advances in patient care. A now common example is minimally invasive surgery. Such advances are desperately needed to address spiralling healthcare costs and a rapidly growing ageing population. Surgical innovation today is relevant to i) Devices, ii) Surgeon Training, iii) Simulation, iv) Diagnosis, v) Patient and Care Pathway Tracking, vi) Risk Reduction, vii) Surgical planning, viii) Tools to reduce variability in skill and outcome, e.g. cutting and drill guides, ix) Healing monitoring and ix) Rehabilitation This industrial stream CREATE proposal provides a unique opportunity for graduate trainees preparing to enter the surgical devices sector. We have developed a cross-disciplinary team based approach to graduate education combining the expertise of École de Technologie Supérieur (ETS), McGill Department of Surgery, John Molson School of Business, (JMSB), and Engineering and Computer Sciences, Concordia University all located within a maximum of 1.5km of each other in downtown Montreal. Trainees undertake internships with our 15 industrial partners to develop their technical and professional skills. There are two disruptive yet exciting aspects to our approach i) the students work in surgeon-business-Natural Science and Engineering (NSE) teams for cycles of one year and ii) the emphasis of their training is the process of innovation. We apply a surgical innovation education model first instigated at Stanford University over a decade ago for the first time in Canada. Our industrial partners were surveyed regarding professional skills deficits encountered in PhD and Masters recruits and we assembled a program to address them. PhD and PDRF participate further as innovation project managers and gain a Certificate in Business Administration.

外科手术，由于其对手工技能的依赖，有助于技术创新，这可能导致病人护理的惊人进步。一个常见的例子是微创手术。 迫切需要这些进步来解决螺旋式上升的医疗成本和迅速增长的老龄化人口。 今天的外科创新与i）器械，ii）外科医生培训，iii）模拟，iv）诊断，v）患者和护理路径跟踪，vi）风险降低，vii）手术规划，viii）减少技能和结果变化的工具，例如切割和钻孔导向器，ix）愈合监测和ix）康复 这个工业流CREATE提案为准备进入手术器械行业的毕业学员提供了一个独特的机会。我们已经开发了一个跨学科的团队为基础的方法来研究生教育相结合的专业技术高等理工学院（ETS），外科麦吉尔部门，商业的约翰莫尔森学院，（JMSB），工程和计算机科学，康考迪亚大学都位于最大的1.5公里内彼此在蒙特利尔市中心。 培训生与我们的15个工业合作伙伴进行实习，以发展他们的技术和专业技能。 我们的方法有两个颠覆性但令人兴奋的方面i）学生在外科医生业务自然科学和工程（NSE）团队工作一年的周期，ii）他们的培训重点是创新的过程。 我们应用了十多年前在斯坦福大学首次发起的外科创新教育模式，这是加拿大的第一次。 我们的工业合作伙伴进行了调查，了解博士和硕士招聘中遇到的专业技能缺陷，我们制定了一个计划来解决这些问题。 博士和PDRF进一步参与创新项目经理，并获得工商管理证书。
