A UMass Amherst research team led by faculty from the Elaine Marieb Center for Nursing and Engineering Innovation (EMCNEI) has been awarded nearly $3 million to establish the nation’s first graduate training program designed to combine nursing’s hands-on patient care with engineering’s technical knowledge.
This award will create SHINE: Strengthening Healthcare Innovation through Nursing and Engineering, in partnership with Baystate Health, which will tackle some of healthcare’s toughest challenges around the realities of patient care.
