Students believed that the best aspect of this course was having access to FDA officials so they could receive feedback and input on their projects. Students liked the lectures, and they found that the 38 information they learned was interesting. Some of the lectures were repetitive, so students suggested regulating the speakers to talk on specific, complementary but non-overlapping subjects. Prospective students should be prepared to attend class with questions for the lecturers and take notes on what they learn.

Students praised this course for giving students an opportunity to be exposed to a variety of topics and to hear from guest speakers. Students had few issues with the course, however some students thought that there wasn’t enough of a connection between the various speakers and topics in the course so that it could feel somewhat disjointed. Students thought the course would be improved if they got more advanced warning of when and which speakers would be addressing the course so they could avoid conflicts in their schedule. Prospective students should know that students found this course to be a good way to learn more about various medical devices from industry leaders.
