Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering Education
  • Medical Innovation Training
  • Surgical Skills Development

Background:

  • Traditional medical curricula often neglect crucial innovation concepts.
  • A novel experiential role-play program, "Inventor, Investor, Surgeon" (IIS), was developed.
  • IIS aims to immerse medical students in biomedical innovation learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the IIS program in teaching biomedical innovation.
  • To assess the impact of experiential learning on medical students' knowledge and skills.
  • To integrate creativity, design, and entrepreneurial skills into medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students participated in a role-play simulation, adopting "Inventor," "Investor," or "Surgeon" roles.
  • Teams worked through device design, funding decisions, and clinical efficacy assessments.
  • Students performed device implantation (e.g., valves) in porcine hearts under expert mentorship.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-seven first- and second-year medical students participated.
  • 100% of participants rated the educational experience as "excellent" or "very good".
  • 100% reported improvements in their knowledge and skills.

Conclusions:

  • The IIS program effectively integrates creativity, design, and entrepreneurial skills with clinical critical thinking.
  • Early engagement in biomedical innovation fosters multidisciplinary value and critical thinking.
  • The program is reproducible, cost-effective, and highly translatable across medical specialties.
