Medical Innovation Center’s (MIC) Fellowship (November 2010)

University of Michigan Medical Innovation Center
Date Posted: November 1, 2010

November 2010--The University of Michigan Medical Innovation Center's (MIC) Fellowship Program assembles a team of talented post-graduates in medicine, engineering and business to develop medical technology ideas that will significantly impact human health. The “anti-disciplinary” nature of the program seeks to blur the boundaries of the three disciplines as the Fellows work together as a team to identify unmet clinical needs and develop solutions for them. The medical member of the team must have at least two years of clinical experience and can apply for either a one or two year fellowship. Job Description The MIC Fellowship is a full-time hands-on educational program. The curriculum is delivered in a variety of modes:
  • visits to medical device companies
  • formal training in observation techniques from a world-class organization
  • on-line videos with facilitated discussions
  • personal interactions with industry and thought leaders
  • participation in relevant conferences and seminars
  • training in our Design and Prototype Lab
  • direct clinical observation facilities by medical faculty
  • working/communication style activities facilitated by professional team coach
The topics of these curriculum units span the broad set of issues that a successful medical technology innovation must understand: regulatory approval, reimbursement strategies, intellectual property protection, marketing and distribution, animal and human subject trials, venture creation and financing. Positions now being accepted for post grads in business, engineering and medicine. At a minimum, each MIC Fellows exits the program with a strong understanding of all the aspects of medical technology development and commercialization. Past classes have actually launched companies that are now furthering product development, securing regulatory approval and marketing their product ideas. Throughout the program, the Fellows develop personal relationships with industry leaders and mentors who comprise a medical technology ecosystem upon which they can draw in the future. During the program, the team is counseled by a professional team coach. The medical member of the Fellowship Class typically returns to his/her practice area, but with skills that will enable the identification and development of medical technology ideas to impact human health.

Trauma / Acute Care Surgery Fellowship (October 2010)

Johns Hopkins Hospital
Date Posted: October 1, 2010

The Trauma / Acute Care Surgery fellowship at The Johns Hopkins Hospital has evolved to train surgeons to meet the increasingly recognized need for emergency surgical treatment nationwide.  The one-year fellowship requires board certification or board eligibility in general surgery and can be completed as a single stand-alone year or in the two-year combination with our RRC-accredited multidisciplinary fellowship in surgical critical care.  Trauma / Acute Care Surgery Fellows function at the level of clinical instructor at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in the role of a junior faculty member with full admitting and operative surgical privileges.

The Trauma / Acute Care Surgery fellowship is designed to provide a broad clinical exposure to many aspects of emergency surgery. Fellows take in-house attending trauma call at our Level I adult trauma center.  The trauma population gives an extensive exposure to operative trauma management, as approximately 35% of the over 2,500 total cases seen are due to a penetrating mechanism for which we perform our own cardiac, thoracic, vascular, and renal injuries.  Additionally, fellows take emergency general surgery call and treat a wide variety of emergent and routine general surgery patients.  There are numerous opportunities for elective general surgery cases as well as bedside ICU procedures (ie. percutaneous tracheostomy and PEG placement). Fellows who have completed surgical critical care training may have the opportunity to attend in the surgical ICU.

The fellow's education is further enhanced through participation in the trauma service core lecture series, surgical and trauma M&M conferences, critical care educational conferences, journal clubs, and surgery grand rounds.  Fellows contribute to resident and medical student education through didactic lectures, participation in simulation session and animal labs, as well as direct patient care. All fellows take the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Trauma Operative Management (ATOM), and Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET) courses. Elective rotations are offered based each fellow's individualized needs and may include: thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, transplant surgery, burn surgery, radiology (interventional and/or diagnostic), orthopedics, and/or neurosurgery.

Fellows have the opportunity to engage in academic pursuits including clinical research leading to peer-reviewed publication as well as co-authoring education works (i.e. book chapters) with faculty members. Options are available for additional coursework towards the Masters of Public Health (MPH) from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

 

Requirements:

  1. Completion of an accredited five-year general surgery residency program
  2. Board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Surgery
  3. Must have or be eligible for full/unrestricted Maryland license
 

Required Documents:
