MEDTEC School: Politecnico di Milano and Humanitas University launch new Laurea Course to train Doctors of the future

On June 5, 2019, was presented MEDTEC School, the new international Laurea in Medicine (equivalent to Bachelor of Science), from Humanitas University and the Politecnico di Milano, which integrates and strengthens the skills of the medical doctor with those of biomedical engineering. The course is the only one in the world of its type and duration. 

The course will be taught in English and last six years. It aims to train doctors to fully understand and consciously manage the advanced technologies that characterise – and in the future will increasingly characterise – the medical profession to be able to offer patients innovative and personalised treatments. On completion of the course, the Medicine graduates can also ask the Politecnico to award them the three-year Laurea in Biomedical Engineering so they can continue pursuing their vocation: medical practice in the Specialist Schools, medical and engineering research with technical PhDs or moving directly into industry.

Developing the course is a team of academics: Prof. Maria Laura Costantino (Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta”), President of the MEDTEC School Laurea course and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano; Prof. Maurizio Cecconi, Vice President of the MEDTEC School Laurea course, Head of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at Humanitas and Professor of Anaesthesiology at Humanitas University; Prof. Stefano Duga, Director of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Professor of Molecular Biology at Humanitas University and Prof. Andrea Aliverti, Coordinator of the Doctoral Programme in Bioengineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano.
