19.01.2022 In the past few days, the team at Perth Biodesign has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 situation in WA and considering the effect that this could have on our upcoming courses. Clinical immersions in which participants observe clinical care and look for clinical unmet needs - are an integral part of the Perth Biodesign for Medtech course. In the interests of the safety of our participants, clinical mentors and the greater community, we have decided to postpone the Perth Biodesign for Medtech course until the latter half of 2020. Applications are still open but the deadline has now been extended until June! If you want to get involved in healthcare innovation and medical device development (and what a time to get involved!) then make sure to download the application pack from: www.perthbiodesign.com.au/perthbiodesign
