Undergraduate Summer Fellowships in Orthopaedic Bioengineering

在骨科生物工程项目本科夏季奖学金在医院关节疾病是一个类似的计划在过去十一年举行的延续。本研究经验的本科生计划是基于这样一个前提，即理想的地方，以补充与实践经验的生物工程师的基础教育，并让他们接触到“现实生活”的那种情况，将表征他们未来的职业生涯是在教学医院的激烈的医疗环境。这些经验对于工程师和科学家的教育至关重要，他们将创造新概念并开发，设计和制造医疗器械。这种培训对于保持和扩大美国医疗器械行业的竞争优势是必要的，美国医疗器械行业的产品被公认为是世界上最好的。该计划的项目，从正在进行的部门研究活动中选择独立的资金来源，将涉及韧带和软骨修复，脊柱固定，骨折修复，生物矿化的物理化学，对组织生长的机械和电磁效应，以及总关节设计。

The Undergraduate Summer Fellowships in Orthopaedic Bioengineering program at the Hospital for Joint Diseases is a continuation of a similar program held for the past eleven years. This Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is based on the premise that the ideal place to supplement the basic education of bioengineers with practical experience and expose them to "real-life" situations of the sort that will characterize their future careers is in the intense medical environment of a teaching hospital. Such experience is critical to the education of engineers and scientists who will create new concepts and develop, design, and manufacture medical devices. Such training is necessary to maintain and expand the competitive edge enjoyed by the U.S. medical device industry, whose products are recognized as being the world's best. The program's projects, chosen from ongoing Departmental research activities with independent funding sources, will involve ligament and cartilage repair, spinal fixation, fracture repair, physical chemistry of biomineralization, mechanical and electromagnetic effects on tissue growth, and total joint design.
