Medical Technology Outreach

Medical Technology Outreach

The purpose of this outreach was to learn how technology is used in medicine. Dr. Bria Rice originally studied engineering but then moved to medicine. She is now a doctor on her third year of residency at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. She talked about how working in engineering gives you critical thinking skills the ability to work in teams.  She was able to take these critical thinking skills and apply them to the medical field.  She talked about how doctors use technology in medicine. One technology she talked about was that doctors use colonoscopy scopes and controllers for that like video machines.
