What is the Medical Device Club @ Vanderbilt?
We are a like-minded group of computer scientists, engineers, and clinicians that want to innovate healthcare through technology. We provide:
- a forum/community to have technical and clinical discussions about medical devices and technologies with subject area experts;
- help for our members to overcome technical challenges in their applications;
- opportunities to get involved in medical device and technology development;
- foster inventive ways to evaluate the efficacy/risk early in the design process as fast and as cheaply as possible
Also, the Medical Device Club aims to complement/support the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering by providing a weekly opportunity to innovate and discuss technical challenges.
Should I get involved in the Medical Device Club?
We HIGHLY encourage senior design teams, graduate researchers, and anyone working on medical technology projects to join the club and take advantage/participate in the community — we are a diverse group with experts spanning multiple engineering and medical disciplines. We like to think of the club as a teaching hospital for medical devices.
