The course will provide an introduction to the systematic design, fabrication, testing and documentation process that is required for the commercial development of medical devices, suitable for eventual regulatory approval. The course will dissect how manufacturing, mechanical design and clinical considerations contribute to medical device development. We will focus on devices used for image guided cancer therapy, where 2 devices will be examined over course of the semester.

In this course, students develop new curriculum and/or assessment tools, pedagogical skills, and self-reflection about their teaching. They take seminars and/or do independent research to prepare new curriculum and/or assessment tools, document weekly planning and/or reflection, and at the end of the semester compile a report that may include description of new curriculum with an introductory explanation and concluding reflection and/or a description assessment tool and results of curriculum assessment. A supervising faculty member evaluates both practical content and pedagogical learning.
