Medicine and ingengineers design tomorrow's professionals together
di Francesca Zinghinihini
July 19th, 2022 - To respond directly to the needs of the world of work, theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma enriches its training offer with two new degree courses: Medicine and Surgery 'Medtech' and Biomedical Engineering. Fully disbursed in lingua ingForest, the two paths arise from the synergistic collaboration between the Departmental Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and that of Ingengineering to train highly qualified professionals of the future, with transversal and integrated knowledge, with a strong background in science and strong skills in applied biomedical technologies.
'Medtech' is a 6 year journey designed to provide knowledge across a wide range of medical technologies and technical fields, such as: artificial intelligence,ingtissue engineering, nanotechnologies, electronics, biomedical and surgical robotics, but also virtual and augmented reality, imagingingand big data. "Today the doctor's daily life is enriched by technology. With our course of studies we want to integrate clinical skills and ingengineering because we believe this can make a difference. The doctor who knows his tools well is certainly able to offer a better diagnosis to his patients”States the teacher. Giovanni Di Pino, President of the new Master's Degree Course.
Biomedical Engineering It is a three-year degree course designed to teach the fundamentals ofingengineering supported by a solid foundation in mathematics and science, but also by basic medical knowledge. "We prepare all-round professionals to improve the quality and effectiveness of care and healthcare - explains the teacher. Emiliano Schena, President of the Degree Course - This degree opens the doors to a variety of roles in the biomedical sector, as a designer of medical devices and diagnostic systems, as well as work in companies and hospitals for the ingclinical engineering, with particular attention to risk analysis, health procedures and the safety of medical devices". In order to encourage a real contamination between the two Faculties, many of the teachings are taught together with the medical students.
UCBM it is the place where doctors ed ingengineers can grow together and form in a synergistic way to allow an increasingly concrete integration between these two sectors. Together they manage to draw clear and new perspectives for the professional of the future.
