We would like to bring to the attention of Semmelweis University students a newly started English course on the topic of engineering innovation in medical research and patient care. By Béla Merkely Rector, the course is being promoted with the Pázmány Péter Catholic University Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics. The course does not require any engineering previous experience. This course was designed for medical student with basic biophysical knowledge.

The aim of the course is to introduce those interested in areas where engineering opportunities are becoming increasingly important in patient care. Each lecture converges on a theme that is presented by a medical and an engineering specialist based on their own perspectives. This allows the audience to learn about the engineering and medical aspects of the same topic. On the other hand, this course provides a deeper insight into the specific field of medical engineering to facilitate the development of research collaboration between the two fields. We strive to promote medical developments and facilitating a safe but rapid transfer of research results into clinical practice.
