MAYMESTER: INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON DESIGN IN HEALTHCARE

 

NOT TO BE OFFERED IN 2021. This 5-week Maymester is based in beautiful Porto and includes a trip to Lisbon. This course is a good fit for students with interest in the design and delivery of technology in healthcare. The course will explore medical decision-making through understanding of cognitive biases, how people develop expertise, and the current challenges in medical decision-making. Course features include the discussion of scientific papers; interviews of healthcare professionals, both European and American; professional field trips (e.g., hospitals and research facilities); and the writing, peer-review, and revision of a scientific proposal to design a new or improved system to support medical decision-making. Classes will be taught by UT faculty at the University of Porto. From its medieval winding streets and countless monuments, to its green spaces, rich culture, and active nightlife, Porto offers something for everyone.
