Current students at Dell Medical School may choose the MSE in BME option to fulfill requirements of the Growth Year during year 3 of their medical training. After completion of one year of coursework, students earn a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Biomedical Engineering (BME).
MD/MSE in BME Goal
The goal of this program is to produce physicians who are able to practice medicine and biomedical research with the quantitative analytical skills of an engineer, with skills in:
- imaging and instrumentation
- biomaterials and/or biomolecular engineering
- computational bioengineering and
- molecular, cellular, and tissue biomechanics
...
All graduate students in BME, including master's students in the coursework only and thesis track, are required to attend seminars designed to promote academic and professional development and networking opportunities. These seminars include the Responsible Conduct in Research (Ethics) Seminar offered in two parts in the fall and spring semesters, the Individual Development Plan (IDP) Workshop each fall semester, and the Graduate Research Seminars that take place throughout the semester on Thursday afternoons.
