Partnership
Substantial direct interaction with the stakeholders is a critical component of the training. In addition, the interdisciplinary projects immersion course requires trainees to be immersed within the world of our clinical partners as they experience real-world clinical problems through clinical rotations and by addressing a need in healthcare with medical device technology. Many of our faculty participants hold clinical positions at the Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA).
