Duke Design Health Research Scholars

Catalog description

The Duke Design Health Research Scholars program allows medical students to work on independent study projects centered around designing engineering solutions for pressing needs in healthcare. Students will work under the guidance of engineering faculty and meet in teams with other students from multiple disciplines including engineering, business, and medicine. Intended as an independent study course separate from the Design Health Fellows program (INTERDIS 407C), this program provides real world experience in engineering research and development. At its foundation, the program seeks to educate medical students in engineering, entrepreneurship, and innovation through immersion and project-based learning. Maximum Enrollment: 10; Credit: 1. Course Director(s): Eric S. Richardson, PhD; Paul J Fearis, MA; Joseph A Knight, PhD, MBA
