Program Requirements
The M.Sc. in Experimental Surgery, Concentration in Surgical Innovation, offers graduate-level training program in experimental surgery, leading to a Master's degree. This concentration allows for a hands-on learning experience for students to develop skills necessary to work within multi-disciplinary teams in the creation of a novel, needs driven, and marketable prototypes used in developement of novel surgical and medical devices. As such participants work in multidisclipinary teams to identify clinical needs and to innovate solutions to them.
