Abstract

Medical devices, 3D printing, and virtual reality are increasingly integral components of medical practice to improve patient outcomes. Physicians engage directly with clinical challenges but may need more training to develop innovations that prioritize patient-centered design. To bridge the gap, hands-on clerkships were implemented to develop foundational skills related to emerging medical technologies.
