The Department of Medicine would like to congratulate our resident clinician innovators on their recent successful participation in the Georgia Tech/Emory Biomedical Engineering (BME) Capstone projects!
As part of the J. Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency Programs’ Distinction in Medical Innovation program, internal medicine residents successfully pitched relevant healthcare problems that were selected for medical device development by senior capstone BME teams this past spring semester. Our residents served as key members of their teams, providing project leadership and key clinical guidance. At the end of the semester, these BME teams showcased their completed device solutions at the Georgia Tech Capstone Design Expo. Due to COVID-19, the most recent Expo was held virtually and featured five Emory internal medicine residents.
Georgia Tech students highly value the opportunity to work with Emory faculty and residents as they receive credentialing and access for clinical observations at Emory Healthcare and Grady Health System facilities through the Student Training for Advancing Technologies Credentialing program (STAT), co-sponsored by the dean’s office at Emory’s School of Medicine. This program has afforded the Georgia Tech students critical opportunities to understand the need and the environments in which their innovations will be implemented.
