Clinical Engineering Thesis Award
The Institute for Technology in Health Care Clinical Engineering Thesis Award at the University
of Toronto was first awarded in 2007. The award is for the thesis project
that most closely demonstrates the direct and immediate application of engineering expertise to
health and medical care. The Award's objective is to choose a clinical engineering thesis
which highlights two aspects; the importance of an innovative engineering solution and addressing real clinical, patient care problems effectively.

University of Toronto Clinical Engineering Program
Clinical Engineering Graduate Student Scholarship
The Program in Clinical Engineering at the University of Toronto started in 1984 and has been highly successful
as evidenced by the support provided by hospitals involved with the Program over the past two decades and
the large number of applications from engineering students from Canadian and international universities.
These graduates are working in health care, either in hospitals or industry, or have gone on for further
study in medicine or other research areas.
The Institute for Technology in Health Care Scholarship in Clinical Engineering is part of a matching grant that will be made in perpetuity. The recommendation
for the award will be made by the Graduate Awards Committee of the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical
Engineering of the University of Toronto. This award is given to the outstanding student in the Clinical Engineering program based on academic
performance during tenure in the Program.
