Course Description
An introduction to clinical practice for undergraduate students in biomedical engineering. The course is divided into lectures during regular class time, hospital visits and grand rounds lectures. The regular classroom lectures are focused on hospital environment, patient flow, clinical regulations and applications of biomedical technologies. The hospital tours include visits of hospital units such endoscopy, radiology, operating room, ICU, pathology and various clinical units. Students will need to attend at least half of the organized hospital tours. Students will also need to attend grand rounds lectures discussing patient case studies. Hospital visits and grand rounds lectures will occur outside regular class hours and might also occur outside regular business hours. Hospital site is primarily the University Medical Center but might also include University satellites not on main campus. In order to be able to complete this course students will need to pass regulatory, safety and behavioral training at the beginning of the course. Students will have to complete immunizations required when working in a hospital environment.
