about us

Founded in 2015, MEDesign provides students with hands-on medical device design experience by entering medical device design competitions, participating in make-a-thons, and taking on independent medical device projects. We lead students through the entire process of creating a medical device from customer discovery to design process, patents, and eventually product launching. MEDesign invites prestigious speakers to talk to our club members about the medical device industry.  Some of our previous guests include BME Professor Dr. Loeb and Dr. Larry Yin from LA Children's Hospital. Our club takes pride in the diversity of our students' interests; our members include business students, neuroscience majors, engineers, and even music majors! Join us at our next meeting!
