Biomedical Industrial Internship Program
Drs. James Weaver, H. Frederick Bowman
Tue Jan 22, 02-03:30pm, E25-119

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

This paid industrial internship offers an opportunity for students considering biomedical engineering careers to explore the increasing number of industrial avenues available to them as alternatives to the more traditional routes leading to academic or clinical careers. In this information session, Drs. Weaver and Bowman will answer your questions about this program and describe opportunities such as networking and scholarships, as well as the academic responsibilities associated with the scholarship. These may include participation in several seminars held periodically at industrial sites and brief presentations and reports by participants at the end of the interniship experience. Please join us to learn more about this exciting new program

HST Biomedical Engineering Doctoral Programs I: MEMP
H. Frederick Bowman
Wed Jan 16, 04-05:00pm, E25-119

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up

HST's Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (MEMP) Program is one of the largest biomedical engineering doctoral programs in the nation. This program is intended to provide sufficient grounding in medicine, science, and engineering to enable students to both formulate and solve problems at the interface of technology, biomedical sciences, and clinical medicine. Several HST faculty members and current MEMP students will present and discuss unique features of the HST PhD program in Biomedical Engineering, and will answer any questions students might have.

Medical School at MIT?
Daniel C. Shannon
Schedule: TBD

YES... MIT joined with Harvard University and Harvard Medical School in 1970 to form the "Health Sciences and Technology" (HST) Program. HST's Medical Sciences curriculum leads to an M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School. Students in this program are registered as graduate students at MIT as well as at Harvard Medical School. Classes are given both at MIT and at Harvard. This program is oriented toward students with strong interests in a career in biomedical research. Typically half of those students who matriculate majored in biological sciences and half in physical sciences. In this information session, several HST faculty members and current MDs, as well as MD-PhD, students will present and discuss all aspects of the MD program.

The Human Engineered: How BME Can Affect You
Ragu Vijaykumar, Erika Brown, Jessica J. Marquez, Jesscia B. Tooredman
Schedule: TBD
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: None

All students interested in learning more about research and industry developments in biomedical engineering are invited to join us in examining and understanding what it is all about. Seminars on various topics will be held during IAP to discuss what BME is and how it relates to various other disciplines at MIT, including, but not limited to Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, Biology, Chemical Engineering, and Aeronautics/Astronautics. This will be a perfect opportunity for anyone wishing to explore the cutting-edge of bio-technology.
