MINI-MED SCHOOL for Biomedical Executives
The Mini-Med School is intended primarily for those who missed attending Medical
School and those with no background in the Medical sciences who want to work in the
Biomedical Industry. It is also meant for those who are working in the industry who
need a refresher in medical and physiological concepts of body systems. It can be
tailored to the needs of your organization depending on whether your company's
business needs are more focussed on Cardiovascular-Respiratory, NeuroEndocrinal,
Musculoskeletal, Digestive-excretory or Reproductive. Typically, the workshop series
is divided into a. Pre-Clinical b.Para-Clinical c. Clinical
Pre-Clinical Part: This part will introduce you to
* Medical terminology
* Key Physiological concepts
* Surgical and applied Human Anatomy
Para-Clinical Part: This part will cover
*Drugs & Pharmacological Concepts
*Key concepts in the Disease Process
*Therapeutic Interventions - Drugs & Devices
Clinical Part: This part of the series will cover:
*Concepts in Internal Medicine
*Concepts in General Surgery
*Concepts in Obstetrics & Gynecology
*Concepts in speciality medicine
All the 28 fundamental concepts that physicians learn in medical school (there are only
so many fundamental concepts) are captured and taught in a modular fashion. A
challenge quiz will be offered to participants at the beginning and end of each session
in order to test their knowledge and comprehension of each session.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Include, but are not limited to the following:
* Your company/group gains an advantage when your team understands the
Medical concepts. This stimulates creativity and innovation.
* Integrating biomedical knowledge across groups makes your company more
productive. Medical terminology usage becomes a competitive edge.
* Increasing the effectiveness of the employees as a result of this improved
position. You know your technical staff is getting training that is top-notch and
reflects state-of-the-art knowledge.
* Proactively preventing problems before the more expensive costs of error and
mistakes that accompany an untrained workforce.
* Using the opportunity to improve teamwork and build skills in Medical
information sharing.
Attendees gain the ability to:
- Communicate and perform effectively in a Biomedical/medical setting with proper
medical language, concepts and fundamentals.
- Grasp and understand medical terms by breaking them down
- Name the body systems and identify their components/functions.
- Gain an understanding/insight into the Disease Process.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is designed for those working in biomedical industry who:
- Engineering, R&D, Marketing, Sales, Clinical, HR, Finance & Mfg
- Have limited/no background in Medical/Biomedical aspects

Instructors: This series is taught by physician-educators who have been in active
practice and know both the clinical and the research side of medical school. One of the
prominent instructors, Dr. Sudhi Gautam is a surgeon-turned-Biomedical Engineering
researcher who has over 15 years of experience in developing technological solutions
to medical problems. His 8 years of surgical practice motivated him into engineering
after realizing the impact that technology could have in addressing clinically unmet
needs. He did a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the renowned IIT and followed it up
with a Post-doctoral research at the University of Michigan , Ann Arbor. Areas of
expertise include Artificial Organs/Implants, Breast Devices, Extracorporeal
Devices, Blood Devices, Non-invasive Physiological Monitoring, Stem Cell-based
technologies, Ear, Nose & Throat Technology, Medical/Clinical Info Systems and
Engineering Solutions to Medical/Clinical problems.
