Abstract：
Opportunities to provide clinical immersion experiences to bioengineering undergraduate students have expanded over the last several years. These programs allow students to observe the clinical environment in order to better understand workflow processes, the context in which medical equipment is used, and identify unmet needs firsthand. While each program focuses on identifying unmet needs, these experiences vary in content and implementation. Here we discuss features of clinical immersion programs, share details of our program after six years, and present data regarding post-graduation employment of our participants. Students who participated in the University of Illinois at Chicago Clinical Immersion Program are not more likely to pursue careers in industry as compared to non-participants, nor do they demonstrate an ability to find a job more quickly than non-participants. However, participants who did enter into industry self-reported that the program was impactful to both their career interests and ability to find their first employment position.
摘要：
在过去的几年中，为生物工程本科生提供临床沉浸体验的机会已经扩大。这些课程允许学生观察临床环境，以便更好地理解工作流程，医疗设备的使用环境，并直接确定未满足的需求。虽然每个计划都侧重于识别未满足的需求，这些经验在内容和实施上各不相同。在这里，我们讨论临床沉浸计划的特点，六年后分享我们计划的细节，并提供有关我们参与者毕业后就业的数据。与非参与者相比，参加伊利诺伊大学芝加哥临床浸入计划的学生不太可能在行业中追求职业，他们也没有比非参与者更快地找到工作的能力。然而,参与者谁确实进入行业自我报告，该计划是影响他们的职业兴趣和能力找到他们的第一个就业岗位。
