Rehabilitation Engineering and Human Movement
This track is now combined with the Biomechanics track directed by Dr. Sacks. The biomechanics track will now include two possible sequences:
1) Biosolid mechanics (cell/tissue/organ).
2) Whole body movement and rehabilitation biomechanics
Incoming students (fall 2007) interested in this track should consult with Dr. Sacks.
This graduate track has the following menu of courses to satisfy the 9-credit "Track Courses" requirement for the Research M.S., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D.
Students must take one of the following courses:
