" Every faculty member treated me like an equal, and always encouraged questions and was very much a open door policy. I loved that about Brown, and of course, their research was phenomenal and I really wanted to be part of that research oriented environment."

"Passion in a field will not only make the mandatory course load more relevant, but also provide a long-term dream of fulfillment that can motivate through the hours of study. Also, finding your passion can lead to promising relationships with faculty members that can be great resources for research, academic, professional and other opportunities." - Joshua Daniel
"In the case of many diseases, the technology is available to diagnose, treat and cure a patient, but, these technologies are often not feasible for those who have the greatest need. In order to truly reduce the global burden of disease, we need to approach problems from a multidisciplinary perspective, and combining a Master of Public Health with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering will allow me to do just that." -Rachel Deraney

The Johns Hopkins Healthcare Design Competition is an annual design competition open to full-time graduate and undergraduate groups that encourages the teams to pitch designs to address major unresolved clinical needs, and to think about the necessary steps to move their ideas to commercialization. Hosted by Johns Hopkins Center for Biomedical Innovation & Design (CBID) in Baltimore, MD, the competition was open for the first time this year to teams from around the world, and attracted over 100 design proposals. Ten or fewer teams were ultimately selected as finalists in each of three categories: Healthcare Information Technology, Global Health, and Advanced Health Systems. Selected finalists hailed from 16 academic institutions from across three continents. Brown University was represented by both the Mobius and the EmboNet teams, in the Advanced Health Systems division.
