Join us to learn more about how the Center for Healthcare Engineering & Patient Safety (CHEPS) is improving the safety and quality of healthcare delivery by identifying, fostering, and promoting collaborative projects across the University.

The symposium offers refreshments, posters from researchers across the university and beyond, and networking with others passionate about the intersection of engineering and healthcare improvement.

Posters represent collaborations between the U-M College of Engineering, Michigan Medicine, the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, the Michigan Institute for Clinical Health Research, and more.


“It’s a privilege to witness our students showcase their amazing efforts.”

— Billy Pozehl,
CHEPS Research Manager

“Discussing the direct implications of my work has given me a greater understanding of my future role in medicine.”

— Arman Getzen,
Pre-med student
