BME Advanced Design is an undergraduate design course offered to BME majors though students of other majors may enroll by demonstrating strong interest. This class emphasizes the importance of finding unmet and specific clinical needs. More than half of the courses is devoted to sending students into clinics and shadowing physicians and nurses as well as performing extensive background research on a specific disease state. Additionally, the latter part of the course delves into rapid prototyping of possible solutions to the unmet clinical needs. Student in this course often continue to pursue their Advanced Design Project for their Capstone Projects. Some students projects have even resulted in the formation of startup companies!
== Health UnBound ==
Health Unbound was formed in the Summer of 2014 by the UIF Leadership Circle of 2014 to provide students interested in pursuing clinical innovations at the University of Virginia. We help students access resources such as space and project management for health innovation projects and sponsor students to attend workshops and conferences to build their skill sets. We also facilitate students to explore different career opportunities in health by facilitating networking between health fields and students via events such as medical hackathons and making connections between students and companies.
