Alumni Testimonials
“Using what I learned from CBID I was able to advance a medical device design project that I was previously working on.We created a functional prototype, submitted for a patent, presented our work in the finals of a national shark tank and formed a company to commercialize this work. Furthermore, the skills I learned in CBID have been invaluable in both formal and informal presentations in my medical career, specifically in our department-wide case presentations (formerly ‘Morbidity and Mortality Conference’).”
“Global health project resulted in licensing two patents to Boston Scientific. Domestic project was spun out into a successful Baltimore-based medical technology startup company. I continue to direct my research and academic interests in the field of medical device design and look forward to continuing to grow an interdisciplinary career in both medicine and engineering. I additionally enjoy leading undergraduate design team endeavors as well as mentoring medical students with similar interest in medical device design and entrepreneurial careers.”
“It was an excellent experience and really helped with knowledge about the translational medicine process and medical innovation, I have been able to carry that forward into my career. The connections and colleagues I made during the year have also been incredibly influential in my subsequent career path.”
“During residency, I have mentored a team in the UW Masters of Applied Bioengineering (a program similar to CBID, but smaller) to innovate around a clinical need in rehab medicine.”
“My experience in the CBID program provided me with a better understanding of device development and how to implement medical solutions.”
