Medical Device Design Short-CoursesClick to view a printable three-page description. Vascular Sciences has been conducting seminars specifically geared toward medical device design, development and testing since 1996. These seminars have been requested by companies ranging in size from start-up to fortune 100 companies, the European Patent Office and the FDA Centers for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). What sets these seminars apart from all others is the approach: begin with the body in mind™. This unique view of medical device design is not typically found in the medical device industry nor in traditional academic settings. Jump to: Questions and Additional Information
Begin with the Body in Mind™Begin with the body in mind™ is the common theme for all of Vascular Sciences' medical device seminars. In order to design safe and effective medical devices in a timely and efficient fashion, an understanding of how the body is designed to function and how it will likely respond to the introduction of a medical device is key. Seminars typically follow the following format:
At the end of the seminar, each participant will leave with practical, hands-on information immediately applicable to medical device design, development and testing. Seminars are conducted in both public and in-house formats. Public SeminarsPublic seminars are open to anyone in the medical community regardless of affiliation. These seminars are typically held on predetermined dates in public venues such as hotel conference rooms. The agenda is fixed in advance although some adjustments may be possible to accommodate the needs and interests of the individual participants. The number of participants attending public seminars is limited to about 15 - 20 people in order to facilitate group discussions and encourage individual participation. In-House SeminarsIn-house or customized seminars are limited to individuals from a single company or institution and their invited guests. These seminars are typically held in a private venue such as on-site within a company or in a hotel conference room. Custom seminars can be scheduled at the convenience of the sponsor. The agenda of each session can be tailored to best meet the needs of the sponsoring organization. The number of participants attending an in-house seminar is left to the discretion of the sponsor. However, limiting the number of participants in each session tends to facilitate group discussions and encourage individual participation. In-house seminars have several advantages over public seminars including:
