臺北醫學大學培育出第一批Biodesign種子教師
日前,臺北醫學大學舉辦的為期一學期的Biodesign臨床需求洞察與創新應用課程圓滿結束,共有5名臨床醫療與工程背景的教師脫穎而出,獲選為第一屆Biodesign種子教師。
本課程由臺北醫學大學Biodesign中心、醫工學院與雙和醫院研究部共同主辦,課程教授群邀請到臺北醫學大學Biodesign中心執行長曾健華主任親自擔綱。曾健華主任今年1月曾赴史丹佛大學受訓,回國後將Biodesign課程教材一比一還原,規劃出此創新課程。
經過一學期的密集訓練,獲選的5位種子教師包括:雙和醫院耳鼻喉科趙品植主任、耳鼻喉科巫承融主治醫師、護理之家陳雅如護理長、臺北醫學大學醫學工程系彭志維主任以及北醫附設醫院林名仁醫師。
透過此Biodesign課程的培育,種子教師將在臨床實務中運用Biodesign理念,從醫療需求出發,進行創新產品設計與解決方案的研發。未來Biodesign中心將持續提供輔導,協助種子教師將Biodesign落實應用。
此批種子教師的培育讓Biodesign在北醫體系內開出首批碩果。臺北醫學大學期望能與北醫附設醫院、萬芳醫院、雙和醫院共同培育更多Biodesign種子教師,擴散影響力,讓更多醫療與工程人才投入創新設計,解決臨床需求與病人痛點。
Taipei Medical University Cultivates the First Batch of Biodesign Seed Teachers
Recently, Taipei Medical University successfully completed a one-semester Biodesign clinical needs insight and innovative application course, with 5 clinical medicine and engineering background teachers selected as the first batch of Biodesign seed teachers.
This course was co-organized by Taipei Medical University Biodesign Center, College of Biomedical Engineering and Shuang Ho Hospital Research Department. The course invited Professor Chien-Hua Tseng, Executive Director of the Biodesign Center, to be the main instructor. After receiving training at Stanford University Biodesign in January this year, Professor Tseng replicated the Biodesign curriculum one-on-one to plan out this innovative course.
After intensive training for one semester, the 5 selected seed teachers include: Director Zhao Pinsheng of Otolaryngology Department at Shuang Ho Hospital, attending physician Wu Cheng-jung of Otolaryngology Department, Director of Nursing Chen Ya-ju at Nursing Home, Professor Peng Chih-wei, Chair of Biomedical Engineering at Taipei Medical University, and Dr. Lin Ming-jen from Taipei Medical University Hospital.
Through the cultivation of this Biodesign course, the seed teachers will apply the Biodesign concepts in clinical practice, starting from medical needs to carry out innovative product design and development of solutions. In the future, the Biodesign Center will continue to provide guidance to assist seed teachers in implementing Biodesign.
The cultivation of this batch of seed teachers has yielded the first fruits of Biodesign within the Taipei Medical University system. Taipei Medical University hopes to collaborate with its affiliated hospital, Wan Fang Hospital, and Shuang Ho Hospital to foster more Biodesign seed teachers, expand its influence, and enable more medical and engineering talents to engage in innovative designs that solve clinical needs and patient problems.
