Imagine the IMPACT of a Biodesign program at the intersection of the #1 most innovative university (Arizona State University) and the #1 hospital in the world (Mayo Clinic)…
We are thrilled to introduce IMPACT (Innovation in Medical and Patient Care Technologies), a new and ambitious master’s program, offered through the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering (SBHSE) at Arizona State University (ASU), born from the collaboration between the Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University (ASU) Alliance for Health Care through their Biomedical Engineering Program (BEP) initiative.
This unique educational program offers clinical immersion at Mayo Clinic, hands-on learning with industry experts, and personalized mentorship throughout the MedTech innovation lifecycle. IMPACT highlights the local innovation ecosystem and redefines the future of medicine through needs-based, scalable innovations developed in Arizona but applicable worldwide. As a Program Development Associate of the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign, IMPACT’s content follows the framework of:
- Identify- Learn how to identify unmet clinical needs through observation and analysis.
- Invent- Ideation and concept development to translate needs into innovative solutions; and
- Implement- Refining prototypes and bringing the solution to market
We are looking for exceptional students who want to IMPACT the future of healthcare. Do you know any outstanding colleagues who would be a great fit for this program?
- Clinicians interested in MedTech innovation & entrepreneurship
- Engineers and scientists passionate about medical device development
- Healthcare professionals who want to bring new technologies to patients
If you or someone in your network is interested, apply now
Deadline to apply for Fall 2025 is Friday, June 13th.
