, LLC, a local remotepatient monitoring company. This new program was envisioned to prepare upcomingbiomedical engineering undergraduate students for the needs, technology, andopportunities in the industry of at-home remote patient monitoring.The program was created with both academic and industry outcomes in mind. Thisprogram was structured as a semester-long internship with weekly classroom meetings.While in their internship, the students worked shifts in remote monitoring, interacting withpatients and communicating with them. They also work on weekly professional reflectionsto report on their experiences. They attend two seminars throughout the whole experienceon policy, legislation, or any other business requirement. Students are required

Dr. Molino received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2014. Molino’s research collaborations focus on the Research of micro/nanocontainers, in- terfacial processes, biomolecules, and applied research in medical engineering and social dynamics. He is also a senior IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS) member. In addition to his research activities, Dr. Molino strongly advocates for the democratization of science and technology and
per semester. The course features weekly, one-hour lectures thatvary in topics from medical device creation and regulation to HIPAA requirements. During thefirst several weeks of the course, students are placed in a variety of nearby medical clinics,private hospitals, and some University-affiliated allied health sites where the students are taskedwith identifying current needs and gaps related to healthcare and technology. The students attendthese shadowing visits in groups of 1-3, and must participate in a minimum of three visits.Students also receive training, prior to conducting observation visits, on professionalism inclinical settings, and instruction on how to optimize observing time and how to interview clinicalstaff and engineering
