For a lot of us, winding up on a medical device development team is an accident. How many people in our day sat there in high school and said, “I would like to develop intravenous catheters and neurovascular […]

This is a good article.
Also, I agree that this should be taught and driven at a younger level such as in high school if you have an interest in engineering or biomedical engineering. I find that most people who are interested in medical devices in general don’t recognize or realize it until half way through undergraduate.
In addition, in terms of “getting educated” there should be a push to obtain other “skills” that are practical for industry that support medical device development or industry as a whole that certain curriculums don’t cover such as various programming languages.
I’ve found that knowing specific skills, outside of knowledge of, for example, the process of product lifecycle management, has had a profound effect in terms of not only getting hired for these roles, but comes into use as well depending on what the project/device being manufactured is.

This course takes the painfully dry regulations and methods used for clinical trials on medical devices and distills them nicely into a clean overview over the course of an hour. Students will learn […]

Hi.. could you advise on the proper sequence between the following courses: advanced medical devices and project management, medical devices?

Next month I will lead a new project from start to finish. I’ve been in the medical industry for 10 years and never acted as project manager for a full project. I have some project management experience in other industries and for subsets of medical projects.

  They can be taken in either order because they cover different aspects. Advanced Medical Device Development covers the sequence of medical device development from design freeze to post-market, without actually going over project management aspects in detail, such as scheduling, planning, costing, etc. On the other hand, Project Management for Medical Devices covers just that, but does not emphasis which part of the medical device development process is taking place.
  
  You could take one without the other, especially in your case with prior experience.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I may not have clearly posed my question. I just started a new position as project manager for a new medical device. Which course (assuming my company will pay for only one) should i sign up for: “Project Management for Medical Devices” or “Advanced Medical Device Development”? I have 10 years experience in medical device development and I have some generic project management experience to support non-medical device releases.

I purchased the course “Advance Medical Device Development” on Udemy. Can I access the course link and participate the discussion here?

Does this website provide Handphone App so I can access the course anywhere anytime?
- Josh replied 7 years, 9 months ago
  
  Hello, you can absolutely participate in the discussion here on the Medical Device Forums, where other people are taking the courses.
  
  The website works pretty well on a phone browser, but does not have an independent app.

I purchased the course on Udemy. Do I can get the same benefit as I purchase course here? (Basic template documents for common manufacturing process validations,
A 50-page e-book, Access to a medical device forum, and Free updates to course material etc.)
Thanks
- Josh replied 7 years, 9 months ago
  
  Yes. The courses are identical here vs. on Udemy. Those benefits sound like the ones for the Clinical Research for Medical Devices course.

Andre, yes, every course on this site gives a certificate of completion once you have checked off all of the lessons as Done.

The courses here are exactly the same as the ones on Udemy, except they are cheaper.
