MDIC is in charge of implementing NCKU STB-Biodesign by recommending at least one distinguished seed lecturer for six month training, and conducting serial lectures, to recognize and offer solid training to interdisciplinary talents and outstanding teams. The trainees are able to start with finding unmet clinical needs, a critical concept in Biodesign, by learning from observing clinical fields and exchanging ideas with clinical doctors.
