This course really opened my eyes to how the world of medical devices really operates. As a biomedical engineering student, most of my education was focused on theoretical design and processes of medical devices and instruments. However, this course taught me a lot about how these devices are put out into society and what it takes for a product to be approved legally. It shows us a lot about how medical devices are developed in the industry outside of a laboratory or classroom setting. I learned a lot about topics relating to regulatory affairs and quality control, that are not covered in as much detail in other courses. Through the lectures I also gained more insight into the many operational roles and responsibilities involved in medical device development. I was able to relate a lot of the knowledge I acquired to my current position in R&D where I work.
