Testimonials from ETM Students:

Karen Eden

Karen Eden is an assistant professor at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), one of the best medical schools in the United States. She is an experienced healthcare research specialist and educator with absolutely no engineering background. So why select ETM for continuing her master's and Ph.D. education?

"ETM opened up the way I approach decisions. By understanding the basics of decision analysis, one of the key principles of technology management, I was able to apply the same techniques to deciding whether to screen a population for disease or perform a particular diagnostic test. Upon graduation from the program, I confidently began my new position as faculty at a medical university."
