The Master of Science in Innovations in Medical and Patient Care Technologies, or IMPACT MS, is a full-time, in-person, two-semester and a session graduate program offered through the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering as part of the Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University Alliance for Health Care. Graduates will earn a Master of Science in Innovations in Medical and Patient Care Technologies from ASU in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. In addition, after completing their clinical immersion at Mayo Clinic, graduates will earn a 3-credit Clinical Innovation Graduate Certificate from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.

This unique educational program is grounded in the biodesign innovation process and includes clinical immersion at Mayo Clinic, hands-on experiential learning, and personalized mentorship throughout the medtech innovation process. The curriculum was developed in collaboration with the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign as a part of their Program Development Associates Initiative.

The IMPACT MS is designed for engineers eager to deepen their expertise in the rapidly evolving field of healthcare innovation. This program focuses on the entire Biodesign process, equipping students with the skills needed to develop needs-based solutions and successfully implement innovations into real-world practice. Graduates will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to navigate the complexities of medical technology development, from concept to execution, preparing them to drive impactful advancements in healthcare.
