Introduction to Translational Health Technology

Catalog description

Introduction to Translational Health Technology serves to orient students to the field of translational health and highlight specific product development philosophy, projects, and careers in the field. This course of study is particularly helpful for those students enrolled in lock-step translational health specialty degree programs, so they are adequately coached and prepared for the "road ahead" in the translation of leading-edge research into patient care. In addition to providing specific instructional elements, this course also helps students frame the type of capstone project they may wish to pursue as part of their degree program. The course of study includes invited presentations by the existing graduate students to enable: (A) graduate students a chance to reflect on their research and project work and, (B) for new students to develop first-hand experience with the process of inquiry and debate relating to the field of translational health technology.
