Welcome to the site for the 2004 Summer Undergraduate Clinical Research
Program!
The
courses:
|
BME
377P: Clinical Research Internship
|
Students
perform clinical research with biomedical engineering or medical
faculty at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. Requires a substantial
final report. The equivalent of three lecture hours a week for
one semester.

BME
377Q: Clinical Medical Internship
|
Students
participate in clinical inpatient rounds, outpatient visits,
operating room procedures, and medical grand rounds. Designed
to provide direct contact with the medical needs addressed by
biomedical engineering. Requires a substantial final report.
The equivalent of
three lecture hours a week for one semester. |

Clinical
Internships in the Texas Medical Center
|
| The
Clinical Internship is aimed at exposing University of Texas
Department of Biomedical Engineering students to the medical
environment in active clinical practices at the Texas Medical
Center. Students will gain an appreciation for the interdisciplinary
nature of patient care, learn how to interact with patients
and medical staff, learn clinical etiquette, and experience
the dynamics of operating room procedures. A pilot program is
scheduled to begin in the summer of 2004. |

Research
Internships in the Texas Medical Center
|
| The Research
Internship is aimed at exposing University of Texas Department
of Biomedical Engineering students to problem solving in active
research laboratories at the Texas Medical Center that are addressing
critical medical problems. Students will gain the ability to
acquire measurements and statistically interpret data in living
systems (e.g., patients in clinic or operating room, animals
in AAALAC accredited facilities), the ability to understand
regulatory issues and biomedical ethics (e.g., animal care and
use, institutional review board, patents), the ability to identify,
formulate, and solve biomedical engineering problems. A pilot
program is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2004. |
Our
program:
|
The
program is an intensive 10-week internship at the UT M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center and the UT Health Science Center in
Houston, Texas. This program is for juniors and highly qualified
sophomores who are biomedical engineering majors at UT-Austin.
The program is designed to provide biomedical engineering
undergraduates with first-hand experience in clinical medicine
and interdisciplinary research. Under direct supervision of
faculty mentors, students will participate in a rigorous program
that includes a daily clinical medical rotation, laboratory
research, lectures, and leadership training. During the course
of the program the students will write a research plan, conduct
biomedical research, write an abstract, and present their
results.
Students
will be engaged in learning about:
- Clinical
medicine
- Clinical
research
- Laboratory
research ethics
- Communication
and leadership skills
Students
will participate in clinical rotations that include:
