This course will provide students with an introductory overview of the world of medical devices, from bandages to defibrillators. We will explore what the applicable regulations are, starting with the FDA, and how companies use these regulations to guide the design, development, and marketing of their products. Most classes will contain an interesting mix of rules, realities, and renegades, that includes a unique component called, "At the Drugstore," where students will focus an educated eye on commonly found items on the shelf. In addition, students will learn about jobs and career opportunities within the medical device industry and how to gain entry into the field.
