Data-driven decision-making
Hi, I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to everyone from the MTU Biomedical
Engineering Department and share how this program has shaped my career so far.
|
Katelin Morrissette, MDEmergency Medicine and Critical Care Medicine, University of Vermont Medical Center
I was one of the early biomedical engineering graduates, when the program was still
very young. From there I went to medical school (after a brief stint as a ski bum
for 1-2 yrs shout out to Mont Ripley Ski Patrol)! When I first entered medical school
I wasn't sure how my engineering degree would prepare me compared to traditional "pre-meds."
What I can say is that the critical thinking, learning rather than memorizing, and
confidence in my technical knowledge gave me unique perspectives and advantages I
could not have predicted. Now, in addition to practicing critical care medicine, I
am a clinical informaticist, meaning I use computer programming, data analysis and
problem-solving to improve the way we practice and understand medicine.
Informatics, machine learning, and data-driven decision-making are becoming more and
more important in medicine, but this is a relatively rare skill set for pre-med or
medical graduates to have. MTU positioned me really well to dive into this niche with
confidence and I know that future MTU grads will also have amazing engineering and
computer science skills to help make them leaders in medicine.
I hope to meet more MTU grads in medicine soon! Thanks MTU Biomedical Engineering!!
