​Fellowship Opportunities in Medical Technology Development

Learn more about fellowships at UPMC Careers.

Numerous fellowship opportunities with broad as well as focused experiences along the entire medical technology development pathway are available at the UPMC Center for Innovation in Restorative Medicine.

Early stage involvement includes opportunities for:

  • Basic and translational research
  • Exploring technology needs and advancements in regenerative medicine
  • In-field experience

Learning the Business of Medical Technology Development

Fellows will have the opportunity to focus on the business aspect of medical technology development, including understanding intellectual property issues and market analysis with development of business models.

Opportunities to engage industry experts and entrepreneurs are abundant, particularly in conjunction with available focused coursework at the University of Pittsburgh's Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business.

The fellow will gain knowledge and experience concerning funding, analyzing, and commercializing ventures.

Understanding Regulations of Clinical Research Trials

Critical to the fellow’s understanding of medical technology development are the regulatory hurdles in place, along with the skills needed to conduct clinical trials necessary to navigate and pass these hurdles.

Our center excels at government-, academic-, and industry-sponsored trials — ranging from small efficacy studies to large-scale phase three trials.

Regardless of focus, our fellows will have a thorough understanding of the entire medical technology development pathway.
