Bringing engineering insights to healthcare
Mizzou Engineering students in the School of Medicine’s PEN Program are strengthening the physician workforce and advancing Mizzou’s mission to save and improve lives. The School of Medicine is launching a pathways program for engineering students who also want to be physicians. While most premedical students major in biology or chemistry, engineers bring a unique perspective to medicine. Their training emphasizes systems thinking, innovation and complex problem-solving — skills that are increasingly valuable in healthcare. To build on those strengths, the School of Medicine has established the PEN Physician Engineers Pre-Admission Program for sophomore engineering students…
