Under the auspices of a Special Opportunity Award from the Whitaker Foundation, the Bioengineering Program has established a Certificate Program in Clinical Cardiovascular Engineering. The Certificate Program provides a curriculum for students who desire an advanced education in Bioengineering and cardiovascular sciences so that they can become professional practitioners at the interface between cardiovascular technology and medical practice. In most instances, students enroll in the MS Bioengineering Program and in addition to their normal master=s degree requirements, take specialized Bioengineering courses and clinical internships in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and vascular surgery in order to satisfy the Certificate requirements. Students are also welcome to obtain the Certificate in Clinical Cardiovascular Engineering in conjunction with the PhD in Bioengineering (or an engineering department MS or PhD program).
