The Master of Science in Medical Device Innovation (MDI) program is an interdisciplinary program administered by the College of Science and Engineering's Technological Leadership Institute (TLI). The program is comprised of courses in the core areas of Technology Innovation Management and Medical Technology Macro Environment, and enhanced with hands-on innovation experience through practicums at the Medical Device Center. Elective courses from the College of Science and Engineering and Carlson School of Management will further develop depth in technical and medical industry concentration areas. The 14-month program will specifically draw upon the fields of technology innovation, product development, project management, business management, life-cycle management, intellectual property, regulatory affairs, clinical needs, entrepreneurship, human factors, emerging trends, globalization, reimbursement, and public policy to teach and investigate medical devices and the rapidly growing global medical technology industry. This program will provide students with a systemic understanding of end-to-end medical device innovation dynamics that includes but goes well beyond the traditional technology focus.
