Build skills in medical product development, device fabrication, engineering design, business and leadership through focused coursework and hands-on experience. You’ll access advanced technology at Tech Foundry in Aggie Square, UC Davis’ Sacramento-based innovation hub, and learn from experts at the Graduate School of Management, School of Medicine and across health sciences.

Who Is This Program For?

Our program is designed for graduates in engineering or a closely related STEM field who want to enter or advance in the medical device industry by developing skills in nine months that would typically be acquired over approximately 5-7 years of private-sector experience. Applicants must meet the program’s prerequisite requirements. Review admission requirements.

This nine-month journey has turned my dream of higher education into a clear career path. Thanks to the generosity of my mentors, I’m graduating with not only a degree but a roadmap for making a real impact on the standard of care."
