“I’ve been a nurse for 40 years and the same problems exist. It’s time to think about systems solutions instead of technical ones,” says Dean Patricia Davidson.

“I cannot imagine a better environment to figure out how medical professionals and engineers can come together to solve problems,” says Ed Schlesinger, Dean of the Whiting School of Engineering. “Amazing things are going to come out of this incredible opportunity.”
