This is my second online class with Dr.Simon and I knew I would not be disappointed with the amount of information obtained form Dr. Simon. In particular to this course I learned the following:
– Medical device development has a plethora of jobs associated with it.
– I learned of job descriptions that I could research to understand if it was something I wanted to do. Such as CRA, Clinical Associate, clinical data manager etc. )
– I grew a better understanding as to how project management fits into Medical Device Development.
– Learned about regulatory guidelines such as CFRs,ISO that are required to have knowledge/experience in order to get certain job positions in industry.
– Expanded my knowledge prior to taking Senior Capstone of the documents needed for a Medical Device to be established.
– The Final Project for this course was crucial for me to understand the practical application as to what would be done in industry, the amount of time it takes to do research on various how to classify a device, what ISO standards must be meet to satisfy the FDA.

In terms of the class I have one minor improvement:
– It would be better delete previous response from years past on the forum posts because about 75% of people had similar responses. It be more beneficial if the next class saw only the responses of those in the class currently because for me it was a challenge not to repeat what others had to say.
– The forum post did not allow for some people to post links to forum as well which made it a challenge to cite a source. When using Moodle you can simply paste the link and it works.
