Summary
Clinical immersion experiences in biomedical engineering programs are widespread but vary greatly in structure and duration. Further research is needed to assess their impact on student learning and career development.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering Education
- Clinical Immersion
- Experiential Learning
Background:
- Clinical immersion is believed to enhance understanding of medical culture, operations, and collaboration for biomedical engineering students.
- National Institutes of Health grants have supported the expansion of clinical immersion programs in the United States.
- The prevalence, organization, goals, and outcomes of these programs are not well-documented.
