  • On March 7th SCSU held a very successful job fair at the Twin Cities Graduate Center specifically for MS-ACR (Clinical) students and MS-RAS (Regulatory) students. Twelve medtech industry campanies including the seven largest medical device companies in Minnesota chose to participate in this event. These twelve companies represent 2/3 of the medical device industry employment (20,000) in the state of Minnesota! We will be repeating this job fair including students in the MS-MTQ (Quality) program in spring 2013.

News:

The Quality profession is critical for medtech business success in ensuring high quality standards that meet the needs of FDA, International Regulatory, and ultimately patient safety. The Master of Science in Medical Technology Quality program is designed in close collaboration with the medtech industry to provide students with the necessary tools and competencies needed to be effective professionals and leaders in medical technology Quality.  It will build a solid foundation for students wishing to enter this profession and help to expand and strengthen the knowledge of current Quality professionals.

The program is designed for working professionals with classes offered evenings and weekends at the SCSU Twin Cities Graduate Center in Maple Grove. Courses will be taught primarily by industry experts in this field with many years of practical experience and leadership working for medical device and technology companies. The program will also leverage the expertise of select University Professors that specialize in key knowledge areas. Like the Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Research Masters programs this program’s direction and evolution will also be guided by the same but expanded Medtech Industry Advisory Board made up of some of the industry’s top executive leadership in Quality and related fields.

Check out the rest of this website to learn more about this exciting new program. If you don’t find answers to all your questions, the SCSU staff will be happy to help.
