Challenges and Opportunities: Building a Relationship Between a Department of Biomedical Engineering and a Medical School

Steven C George et al. Ann Biomed Eng. 2017 Mar.

Abstract

A department of biomedical engineering can significantly enhance the impact of their research and training programs if a productive relationship with a medical school can be established. In order to develop such a relationship, significant hurdles must be overcome. This editorial summarizes some of the major challenges and opportunities for a department of biomedical engineering as they seek to build or enhance a relationship with a medical school. The ideas were formulated by engaging the collective wisdom from the Council of Chairs of the biomedical engineering departments.

Keywords: Academic department; Research program; Teaching program.
