Location of Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC)
Medical engineering (IM) combines technology with medical practice, technology playing an increasingly important role in disease management and becoming a major economic activity.
UPMC provides teaching and placements in all fields of medical engineering. This RIM master in "medical engineering" (master followed by the doctorate in the LMD system) is the basis to all UPMC Science and Technology Bachelor majors. The course is designed to train the future players in the health technology development field.
This specialization is open to both students from the traditional Materials Science or Life Sciences majors, and to students on courses newly designed for their reorientation after having begun their studies in medicine and pharmacy. The specialization is designed to provide students with a dual scientific and medical culture while broadening their initial basic knowledge and combining applied science and medical disciplines, enabling them to develop the medical technologies of the future.
Based on coherent teaching units and validation of training this specialization is open to science, medicine or pharmacy students. The teaching method and group work involving students from various backgrounds is an essential advantage of this course, as it emulates situations which have led to developments in medical technology in the past.
Subject areas include:
1. Technology in the context of current and future requirements in the healthcare sector
2. Medical disciplines in the context of their technological requirements
3. Vocational training targeting medical progress, business creation and production of wealth
Graduates may later integrate all fields of activity relating to medical instrumentation, the research and development sector and sales sector, through hospital engineering, clinical trial support, acquisition support, biomedical signal processing to medical imaging.
Opportunities
This vocational specialization offers practical and general courses and extended work placements (4 to 6 months) in hospitals or medical instrumentation companies.
Students will acquire skills in instrumental scientific and technological know-how in response to patient treatment requirements and savoir-être in the professional, health industrial and hospital fields.
* Research and development in medical instrumentation
* Operational marketing for medical instrumentation
* Hospital engineer
* Clinical research associate
* Medical imaging engineer
* Robotic systems engineer.
Contents
The M1 papers constitute a refresher course in the necessary disciplines so that students can understand the different fields of the major and its four M2 specializations. A large choice of papers allows students to tailor their course according to the M2 specialization they envisage.
The M1 can be organized around two programs:
Medical Engineering (IM) and Re-education, Re-adaptation, Rehabilitation (3R).
With the M2 specializations, students gain and develop more advanced notions in the most up-to-date disciplinary fields: clinical research in re-education (RCE); professional training in re-education (DPR); prevention/education in re-education (PER); medical engineering (IM). This degree also prepares students for doctoral research in the corresponding fields.
Requirements
The major is directed primarily towards:
* graduates of a state diploma or a those certified in the re-education professions who are enrolled in the Code de la Santé publique (Parties IV), or students with foreign diplomas who have been admitted by the UPMC´s equivalence commission.
* graduates of a Bachelor of Science and Technology, majoring in Life Sciences, or equivalent (R3 program)
* candidates from the Bachelor of Science and Technology who followed the physics or electronics programs, or with knowledge judged equivalent by the admissions panel (IM program)
* candidates from the medicine and pharmacy streams who have completed three years of study (IM program)
* candidates with the equivalent of an M1 level and with professional experience judged sufficient by the specialization´s admissions panel (comprising the head of the Master´s course and permanent teaching staff from the specialization).
Please note:The RIM course is designed for full time students. Due to the number of hours of presence required and to the significant workload, this course should not be envisaged by those working more than half-time in addition to their studies.
The 3R program of the M1 is recommended for students who wish to follow on with one of the following M2 specializations: clinical research in re-education (RCE); professional training in re-education (DPR); prevention/education in re-education (PER).
The IM program is recommended for students who wish to choose the medical engineering (IM) specialization in M2.
International students welcome
This degree is accessible to French and foreign students from other scientific streams. The educational methods used provide for the integration of students from various backgrounds. Non-French-speaking students will be given personalized support and French language classes will be organized within the university´s languages department.
