MS & PHD FOR DOCTORS AT IITM 2023 | BS IN MEDICAL SCIENCES | MEDICAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT IIT MADRAS
Official Website - [ Ссылка ]
The primary objective of the Department is to develop and train Engineering Physiologists & Physician Scientists who will define the future of Medicine. The Department of Medical Sciences and Technology at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras was established in February 2023. The Department aims to set up a world-class research environment for medical sciences and technology in order to develop and train Physician Scientists and Engineering Physiologists of the future.
By applying engineering principles to medical knowledge, this new breed of professionals who transcend medicine and engineering have the potential to revolutionise healthcare delivery both in hospital settings and outside. With a combination of the principles of design, bio-mechanics, electronics technology and the science of ergonomics, powerful medical devices can be developed that enhance the efficacy, safety, and reliability of medical treatments.
The Department aims to build a platform for the convergence of engineering teams and medical professionals where products are developed with a clear understanding of the unique needs of patients, how a device might interact with various medical treatments, and pre-existing conditions of the human body.
With this interdisciplinary approach to improving healthcare outcomes by leveraging engineering and medical knowledge, new technologies can be developed that monitor vital parameters of various organs, detects signs of disease or stress, and provides targeted prevention and treatment options. As engineering and medicine continue to converge, the possibilities are endless. With the right platform and resources, Physician Scientists and Engineering Physiologists will be able to create groundbreaking technology that have a positive impact on patients’ lives for generations to come.
The BS Programme in Medical Sciences & Engineering is a game-changing interdisciplinary programme that bridges Medicine & Engineering
The course structure involves an internship in a hospital to tie theory and practice. The courses in the programme will be taught by both medical & engineering faculty, and will provide a strong research base for students.
The Structure of Physiology Courses offered by the programme include:
Anatomy and Physiology of Organs
Mathematical Modelling of the Organ System
Pathology of the Organ System and its interaction with other systems
Diagnostics / Measurement system and Treatment Protocols
The PhD programme for Doctors will enable clinicians to delve deep into a problem area of their interest, either independently or in tandem with an engineer from the Department.
