This video is a recap of the Carle Illinois College of Medicine IDEA Symposium held April 15, 2021. The event was held to feature the Carle Illinois' students' innovative ideas to combine medicine and engineering to find solutions to problems in and transform healthcare.
Carle Illinois' IDEA Projects allow medical students to harness their peak creativity through Innovation, Design, Engineering, and Analysis (IDEA) projects. The students generate new ideas to improve health care challenges during each clinical clerkship.
Carle Illinois students follow with their capstone project. One of the students' IDEA projects is selected as their capstone project. This project will potentially translate to new approaches, technologies, and treatments. Students make creative and efficient use of their fourth year with this project.
