# Clinical Summer Immersion for Biomedical Engineering PhD Students

> **NIH NIH T35** · WEILL MEDICAL COLL OF CORNELL UNIV · 2024 · $163,170

## Abstract

We propose a summer clinical immersion program at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University that brings
20 Engineering PhD students per year interested in biomedical applications from Ithaca Engineering College
Campus to New York City Medical College Campus for short-term dedicated intensive clinical exposure in the
summer between their first and second year of graduate training. Each student will take bioethics lectures,
shadow clinical practitioners and participate in clinical related research under the direction of a clinician
mentor. This clinical summer immersion is designed to connect BME to healthcare and society and to steer
and enhance students’ research interests towards medicine. It will immediately impact their PhD thesis
research by adding a medical conscience and influence their long term career towards improving healthcare.
