"A driving reason behind why I chose the CMTI program over others is that it allowed me to experience the OR space while witnessing some revolutionary devices in action like the Micra pacemaker and Da Vinci Robot. Unexpectedly, I found myself going into a career path where I am in the OR space as a clinical specialist."

"CMTI program offered an unforgettable experience in the operating room. We observed the best healthcare professionals in the country. Learning from their experience, interacting with patients from diverse backgrounds and listening to the fruitful stories of each and every healthcare professionals, our team collaboratively identified a clinical need we can solve using our biomedical engineering background. I firmly believe the invaluable clinical experiences from CMTI propelled me to join the pharmaceutical industry to reach patients and be part of a journey to solving clinical needs."

"The CMTI program was integral in providing a rich, unique curriculum that equipped me with both a deep and broad understanding of medical devices. The curriculum was comprehensive yet flexible and tailored, and I lean on it daily. The exposure to the operating room setting was invaluable in providing a perspective and appreciation of patient care difficult to attain otherwise. You can't help but be awed by the cutting-edge technology you see in action and the top clinical staff performing their craft. That said, sometimes the low-tech solutions are the ones that stand out in the OR! Every minute was packed with insights and lessons that I am grateful to have been privy to."

"For me the most enjoyable part of CMTI was getting the opportunity to structure my learning around concepts I’m passionate about. The clinical immersion portion of the program is truly unique in the sense that it allows you to hone active listening and critical thinking skills while being able to consult with medical experts and experienced faculty to refine your ideas. By the end of the program, not only will you possess a highly coveted degree but you become part of a wonderful family of faculty and students all charting new courses in the medical device industry in various ways."

"The past year in CMTI program exposed me to not only a very rigorous educational program, but also unique experiences that I would not have had if I did not join the CMTI program. The knowledge that I gained by observing various interesting surgeries in the operating room and then creating a product from scratch to address unmet clinical needs was a once in a lifetime experience. I firmly believe that spending time in the operating room as well as the education that I gained in the CMTI program is what is now allowing me to flourish in my new career."
