LISTSERV 16.0 - PHD-BIOE-L Archives

Happy Weekend BIOE students!

Our department is offering something really cool this summer in lieu for internships. Check out below pathway link and also the resume of Kent Lynde who will be part of the webinar. Make sure to register!!

Dear Mason Bioengineering Students,

The Bioengineering Department is excited to offer a new Quality Science Education (QSE) curriculum for our students starting this June! The QSE program prepares students for careers in the life science industries – particularly in the pharmaceutical, medical device and biomedical science sectors. Courses will be available to take online through our new partner, Pathway for Patient Health.

The online program offers 3 courses :

1) Global Regulatory and Legal Requirements of Quality focused on “why” global regulations were adopted, and the evolution of the quality systems grounded in science.

2) Product Development, Specifications, Process and Validation, to include criticality of inputs, risk controls and assessment, specifications, testing, clinical trials, transfer, scalability, yield and validation.

3) Risk and Failure Analysis, Investigation Processes and writing scientifically justified conclusions linked to laboratory experiments.

Highlights of the program include the following:

The curriculum is FREE to students. There is no fee to enroll and no fee for the Pathway Portal user license each QSE student receives that connects the student to industry leaders.
QSE students will have opportunities for paid internships at pharmaceutical and medical device companies around the world.
Hiring leaders will be connected to QSE students (via the Pathway Portal) who wish to be considered for employment opportunities.
'Ask an Expert' is available to QSE students. Industry mentors are assigned to groups of students in this portion of Pathway’s website.
Live office hours at the beginning of the course are scheduled to make sure everyone is up and running.
Live sessions are scheduled to review for the midterm and final.
Students who successfully complete all 5 QSE program courses (the 3 above and 2 others from your current degree program) will receive Pathway for Patient Health's Certificate of Completion.
Those receiving a Certificate of Completion will be a Certified Quality Science Professional and will have earned the right to place the following initials after their signatures: CQSP (Ann S. Hinkle, CQSP). Industry will recognize this acronym.
