About:
An internship at
Personalised Surgery
offers a unique opportunity for biomedical engineering students to apply their skills in a clinical engineering environment. You'll be part of a team working on real patient cases, supporting the planning and design of patient-specific surgical devices. Interns are exposed to technologies such as medical imaging, segmentation, 3D modelling, and additive manufacturing, and gain insight into how engineering integrates with surgical workflows.
With guidance from clinically trained engineers, you'll develop an understanding of the practical requirements of surgical planning and device development. Interns may also have the opportunity to observe procedures in theatre and see how their work supports clinical decision-making and execution.
