Biomedical Engineering: A bench-to-bedside experience at the UC Davis Health Campus
**For current UC Davis BME students ONLY**
This experience offers biomedical engineering (BME) majors an opportunity to engage in an authentic clinical needs-finding experience. Students will receive in-depth instruction in the industry-relevant tools and methods used in the product design and development process. They will learn physiology in the context of clinical arenas that deploy biomedical technology, such as surgical suites, departmental clinics, and intensive care units. Additional emphasis will be placed on enhanced exposure to critical topics including clinical workflow, FDA and device regulation, standards, and entrepreneurial mindset in the clinical setting.
Who should choose this experience?
Biomedical engineering undergraduate students who want to enhance their knowledge of engineering design and gain exposure to the clinical environment.
The courses align with the junior year BME major curriculum, offering practical exposure to both clinical settings and industry-relevant topics. This will serve as a solid foundation for the senior design course, and will be valuable for students planning to work in industry or pursue a higher degree in academia.
Eligibility
UC Davis BME students must be in good academic standing and have completed all lower division requirements by the end of summer of their sophomore year.
