Learn to Innovate, Evaluate, and Regulate Health Technologies
A continuous glucose monitor tracks blood sugar levels throughout the day. Implanted in the chest, a tiny pacemaker uses electrical impulses to help regulate an abnormal heartbeat. These are just two examples of medical instruments and technologies, which diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions. From wearable sensors to sophisticated imaging equipment, these technologies combine engineering and medical science to support patient care and provide patients with greater agency in the management of their own health. The current drive for miniaturization of medical devices, including diagnostics and wearables, has led to renewed need for continuing education and growing job demand.
Michigan Tech's on-campus Medical Devices and Technologies Graduate Certificate focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of biomedical devices. You'll gain specialized knowledge of the engineering principles and technical considerations involved in bringing medical technologies into practice.
