Rice Faculty and Staff in Costa Rica
Global Medical Innovation MBE
The GMI program specifically targets students who have an undergraduate degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, chemical, or bioengineering/medical) or a related field, and who are interested in pursuing a career in the private, public, or non-profit sectors of medical technology.
The 2017-18 GMI cohort’s summer experience began on May 31, 2017. They traveled to Costa Rica, where they will spend ten weeks collaborating with local universities and clinicians to develop design projects, then take part in a global industry internship working as interns at Boston Scientific. We invite you to read their blog here: gmi.rice.edu/student-blogs.
