Graduate Microprogram in Surgical Innovation

The Graduate Microprogram in Surgical Innovation (program code 0845) is a 9-credit, second-cycle program at ÉTS Montréal for students already enrolled in a master's or doctoral program at the institution. It provides interdisciplinary training in surgical innovation, combining academic research experience with supervised practical application and direct exposure to innovation principles, product development, and commercialization within the surgical field. Two mandatory courses are delivered jointly with English-speaking partner universities, so admission requires functional proficiency in spoken and written English in addition to French, the primary language of instruction. The program is delivered part-time only, with day and evening courses and some intensive-format options; because coursework includes hospital-based components, certain vaccinations may be required. Admission is for the Fall term, with a May 1 application deadline, and candidates must submit a letter of intent and curriculum vitae and complete a mandatory selection interview. The microprogram suits ÉTS graduate students pursuing research or clinical-technology careers at the intersection of engineering and surgical practice.
