| Summary | Abstract: To address the growing complexity of healthcare and the need for engineering-based solutions, we developed a practice-driven educational program to bridge medicine and engineering. Traditional curricula often lack opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, leading to gaps between clinical needs and technical solutions. Through the “Co-Creation in Healthcare Innovation seminars” initiative, our program brings together students and professionals from both fields in a three-phase process: clinical immersion and need finding, co-design and prototyping, and implementation evaluation. Activities take place in simulated environments such as a smart operating room and mobile surgical unit. Assessments showed improved interdisciplinary communication, problem-structuring, and user-centered design skills. This program offers a scalable model for developing implementation-focused professionals capable of navigating real-world medical challenges. We aim to expand its reach and contribute to healthcare innovation through cross-sectoral human resource development.
