生物医学工程理学硕士

生物医学工程理学硕士（MS）计划是一个学位课程，旨在提供生物医学工程的高级培训。该计划要求学生在高级生物医学工程课程的基础上，在分子或系统级生物学/生理学和数学上建立必要的基础。所有学生都必须完成实习。学生可以通过完成批准的项目来满足实习要求。或者，学生可以通过发展研究重点并进行以书面论文为最终结果的原创研究来满足实习要求。该课程旨在由全日制学生在一个日历年内完成。选择完成论文的学生应该期望在两年内完成该课程。鼓励在BME MS计划中表现出色的学生继续参加BME MS博士后计划。
The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is designed to prepare students to apply engineering principles to problems in medicine and biology, to understand and model attributes of living systems, and to synthesize biomedical systems and devices in order to improve human health. The program is strongly interdisciplinary, as students choose from a large array of areas of study across the university, such as biology, public health and regulatory affairs. Course topics may also include: cancer therapy, cardiac electrophysiology, biosensors, microfluidics, medical imaging and image analysis, optogenetics, robotics and ultrasound applications in medicine.With the university's central location in Washington, DC, students are able to take full advantage of opportunities available at nearby research and government institutions, including the GW Hospital, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Children's National Medical Center.<br>Duration: Two years (full-time) or three years (part-time). Students choose between two areas of focus: medical imaging or medical instrumentation.
