Comments of Hiring Managers from Industry

We believe this program provides a very good understanding of the full life cycle needs for medical device design, manufacturing, regulatory, funding, and marketing. In fact we felt this program provided such a good foundation and understanding of what is needed in the medical device industry that we offered positions in our company to all five graduates that we interviewed.

Howard Baker

Vice President, Quality & Regulatory Affairs Facet Technologies, LLC

Medtronic has hired MBID graduates because we believe that the diverse project-based curriculum produces graduates capable of working across the company in a variety of roles. More importantly, we feel that the long term impact of the program is to provide future med-tech industry leaders with a rare appreciation of the full cradle to grave device development process. I believe that Medtronic’s next General Manager/President is a MBID graduate.
