Overview

The Biomedical Engineering program of University of Rochester specializes in medical technology and innovation. This option features an eight-week clinical immersion in the University of Rochester Medical Center. During immersion, students directly observe the clinical settings and are therefore better able to address clinical needs when developing design solutions.
